Last week we learned our penultimate axiom, 'THE GOAL OF DISCIPLESHIP IS DIVINE UNION.' Jelly on the bottom shelf: the goal of our relationship with Jesus is to be in unity with God and with one another, and this union is supernatural and motivated by God's love. 

If this goal is motivated by love, we must LEARN how to love this way as we live our lives to the glory of God and the good of our neighbors. How do we learn this love? That is our final axiom. We learn this love through participating in the work that God is already doing in our lives and the lives of those around us!

Join us in Matthew 7:24=29 as we discover our final axiom and strive to live our lives truly believing God's love for us and one another, and how this love truly is all about Jesus.

If our aim as believers is to become more fully formed followers of Jesus Christ, (disciples,) then what is the actual goal of discipleship? What was God's plan for us as humans on earth who love and follow Jesus? Join us as we continue our journey through AXIOMS and discover how the goal of discipleship is actually to be divinely unified with God and one another!

John 17:20-26

"I want God to use me." This is a phrase many of us are undoubtedly familiar with, but what does this really mean? "I want God to use me" sounds like a good prayer, and God will often answer this prayer, but there is an important step we often miss that should take place before we say or pray "God, use me." Long before God uses you to impact a person, place or community, He will first do that same work inside of you. 

This is our 5th AXIOM: WHAT GOD DOES THROUGH YOU HE ALSO DOES IN YOU.

What does it look like to be transformed by good news before we bring good news to others? Join us in John 15:1-17 as we see how God does work in us long before He does work through us!

It's all about Jesus!
