State of the Church by Pastor Daron

The

of FBC: To make disciples who make by the Word of God for the glory of God to impact the world.

We do not measure

by attendance or or how many “disciples” we have, but by how many of our disciples are themselves in other disciples.

What is a disciple?

Luke 18:18-30
The rich young ruler:
1. Acknowledges the

of Jesus (18:18)
2. Is concerned about his place in (18:18)
3. Is a good person (18:21)
4. the Bible (18:20)
5. Has the apparent blessings of God; he’s very (18:23)
of these things make him a disciple of Jesus.

The rich young ruler does not:
1. Acknowledge the

of Jesus (18:19)
2. Recognize his spiritual (18:21)
3. Have an understanding of the (18:21)
4. the clear commands of Jesus (18:23)

What is a disciple? Someone who

and the commands of Jesus.
