Creating Discipleship Conversations

 

On Sunday we celebrated our first Family Worship & Potluck gathering. It was a great moment for our church. It provided an opportunity for families to worship Jesus through singing, prayers, reading the Scriptures, and observing the tangible expression of our trust in Jesus, the Lord's Supper. My hope was to create opportunities for discipleship conversations between parents and children, spouses, and friends this week. I've provided several key points and questions to help start the conversation. I'm prayerful those conversations bear good fruit in the life of Doxa this week and the coming months.

Soli Deo Gloria,

Pastor Jeth Looney
