Discipleship Pastor’s Page A disciple is a learner, an apprentice. A disciple is someone who places him or herself in a submissive relationship to a teacher or mentor. Jesus called people to follow him—people who became his lifelong disciples. Jesus’ disciples are people who are serious about becoming like their Savior and Lord. Their lives are centered around and focused upon Jesus. You and I are richly blessed to have been the recipients of the call of Jesus upon our lives—a call to become his lifelong disciples. I write about this because right now, behind the scenes, prayers and plans and work and dreams are occurring, the focus of which is to make serious discipleship a central feature of the Loma Linda University Church. This is not to say that we haven’t been serious about it before now. It is to say that we are in the process of becoming much more intentional and focused about it. In fact, what has become clear to the pastoral staff and the lay leaders who are involved in this process is that it will require a cultural shift. You will hear much more about it in future months and years, but maybe I can summarize that shift right now by saying that the focus will move from membership to discipleship; from going to church to being the church; from being a spectator to being a participant. I can’t tell you how joyful I feel as I ponder the possibilities—in Christ—for our church as we continue to move in this direction. Much more to follow… Are you ready to take discipleship seriously Re:Live Ministries The Loma Linda University Church is deeply grateful to have a thriving young adult ministry! Pastor Tim and his leadership group at Re:Live are doing a magnificent job of reaching out to and including young adults in the life of the University Church. I urge you to look in on them, pray for them, and express appreciation for the great job they are doing.
