As we conclude the series, “Spiritually Grown”, we take time to reflect on the different ways that Jesus teaches us to stay with Him. Pastor Andy provides an overview and points us to ways we can apply these lessons to our own discipleship.

In this beautiful passage from John 17, Jesus prays for the disciples. We have confidence in Jesus’ prayers because we know that He always prays what the Father wants. This same ability to pray in agreement with the Father can be our experience and Andy Lovelace shares with us how that happens.

Jesus warns the disciples that persecution is going to come, but He also encourages them that they will have the Holy Spirit who will lead them in truth. This reality is critical for us as we navigate the issues of relativism and ‘real’ and ‘fake’ truth.

In this well known passage of Scripture in John 15, Jesus gives clarity around the Father as the caretaker of the vine, Himself as the vine, and His disciples as the branches. Pastor Andy goes into more detail about how we can and must bear fruit in our life with God.

In John 14 we read that Jesus defines love as our ability to hear from Him and then do what He speaks. Pastor Andy Lovelace helps connect our disicipleship pathway to this powerful pathway of love with our Savior.

Jesus asks a pointed question when Thomas asks to see the Father. Jesus’ reply is, “Do you not yet know me?” At some point in our life, every person is confronted with the decision of just having an experience with God or truly wanting to know Him.

Experiencing life with Jesus introduces us to a new family. That doesn’t mean that we discount or dismiss our family of origin, but it does invite us to discover a new root from which our lives can grow.

Growing spiritually means that we are not being weighted down by carrying offenses. Pastor Andy talks about the washing of feet is an invitation to wash away offenses.

Often times when we want to grow deeper it requires that we get beneath the surface to make lasting changes. Pastor Andy Lovelace explains that this is true in our lives and it's true in the church as well.

Christians have been called to be 'different' from the culture around them. In this message, Ethan Lovelace talks about what kind of response Christians should have that sets them apart in a media saturated age.
