This We Believe: Discipleship / Apprenticeship – Matt. 16, Phil. 3

At Whispering Pines Church, we believe that being a disciple of Jesus Christ and His way – is not an optional second-track for those who want more out of their faith. We believe that being a disciple of Christ – IS the faith.

Part of this is tied in with our eschatology. We believe that those who have been compelled by the life, words, and actions of Christ – are so drawn to Him that they want to know Him more and more. Paul, author of much of our New Testament – spoke of his desire to know Christ even more (Phil. 3:10). It is those who long to be with the Lord, to know Him and His way – they will have more and more of Him (in this life and after)!

But, we also believe that Jesus taught, very plainly, that to be a true disciple of His, to be in the faith, means to live as He lived. We are tasked with watching how He lived out the gospel – and practicing the same. At Whispering Pines Church – we are convinced – the gospel can be lived out! Join us as we explore discipleship together.
