As we follow the outline from Greg Ogden's book "Discipleship Essentials" we move to part two of Understanding the message of Christ and dive in headfirst, learning what it means when the Bible tells us that we were born in God's image.

God, the self-existent creator, called the world into being through His infinite creativity and power. The peak of God's creative work was humankind, male and female, made exclusively in His image.

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”

27 So God created human beings in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

This week's episode is exploring what the Bible has to say about having and maintaining a healthy body and lifestyle.

What are the challenges we face when we are out in this broken world. Making the right choices. Choices effect not just our health, but us being an example for our spouses, children and the many people that we have contact with every day.

When God created us, were we made for a healthy lifestyle or one where we just do whatever we want and deal with it when we have health issues.

WE DO HAVE A CHOICE. MAKE THE RIGHT ONE

In this episode, John and Juan explore what is The Trinity.

More like WHO is the Trinity.

GOD the Father

GOD the Son

GOD The Holy Spirit

Although this discussion will explore The Triune God, it is NOT a comprehensive explanation of this subject. It is however, an introduction to who God in three persons is and how scripture describes each as they lead and guide our lives.

How amazing is God's promises that Jesus told us that God will give us a counselor or advocate to speak for us and lead us in our walk as disciples.

We encourage our listeners to open their Bibles for one, but also to get into a discipleship triad or quad to be a disciple and make disciples as Jesus told us to do when He was here on earth.

We encourage you to pick up the Discipleship Essentials book by Greg Ogden and start up a triad or quad of your own.

Have you ever thought that you get power when you read?
Well you surely can gain knowledge when you read. You can learn how to communicate with others by having the ability to read and write for others to get knowledge. More than knowledge though is the POWER you can have by reading God's word.
John 1:1-3 says "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made."
Reading the Word and learning the Word puts the Power of Jesus inside you. Having that Power in you gives you unlimited opportunity to not just share it but to speak it through you into others.
Our culture revolves around power but as a believer, the only power we need is the power of the Holy Spirit in us and when we read God's Word, we have the POWER to speak life and light into the world.
Join us today to learn how we experienced God's power in our life and how that same Power can change you.

Jesus gave his disciples a challenge and command while He was with them before He ascended to heaven. Go out and disciple others. He promised He would give them an Advocate to be with them on their mission, The Holy Spirit. Not only did He give them the Holy Spirit, but as believers in Jesus, we too have become disciples and are called to disciple others as well with the Holy Spirit in us and guiding us.
Greg Ogden wrote a book {Discipleship Essentials} and gave us an outline of steps we can use to make disciples. While Juan and John may be using this outline, the Bible is the final authority in discipleship training.
Join us as we get into what it means to be making disciples and where to start.

"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28.18-20).

When you think of or hear the word "disciple", what comes to mind?
The Apostles that followed Jesus? Maybe even those that followed a cult that drank some bad kool-aid.
Whatever comes to mind, have you ever thought of yourself as a disciple? If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, then you know what, you ARE a disciple.
WHAT IS A DISCIPLE? One who responds in faith and obedience to the gracious call and journey to be more like Christ. ( A follower of Jesus )
Today Juan and John will be talking about what it means to be a disciple and how we can become a better disciple or even disciple others.
The three things that the Holy Spirit will use to allow Christ to grow in you are Vulnerability, Truth and Accountability.
Being a disciple is serious business,and a lifelong process of getting rid of the old self while allowing Jesus to be more alive in us. The only way to become the person God is calling you to be is to get rid of the "old self" and be obedient to Christ.
