Join us for the first installment of our new series "What A Disciple Does," where Pastor Paul casts a compelling vision for spiritual growth and maturity in the new year. Drawing from Hebrews 5:11-6:3 and Matthew 16:24-25, Pastor Paul challenges us to move beyond surface-level Christianity and embrace the all-consuming pursuit of Jesus Christ. Discover why discipleship is not about following rules but about following a person, and how Jesus both demands everything and empowers us to give everything through His grace. Learn about the four essential elements of the discipleship journey at Island Church: Abide, Connect, Invest, and Go, and how each element fuels the next in an ever-turning cycle of spiritual growth and multiplication. Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or seeking renewed purpose in your walk with Christ, this message will inspire you to pursue maturity and bear fruit that brings glory to God.
