Disciplined Disciples (Sermon 1): The Biblical Call for Spiritual Disciplines

Jesus calls His disciples to “Follow Me!” How can Christians today follow Jesus? How can we “pursue godliness?” The answer is in the question – we must follow Jesus completely. In this lesson (the first of a new series), Nate Bibens discusses the Biblical call for activities often called the Spiritual Disciplines – activities that are present in the life and lessons of Jesus and other Bible heroes. If we will live a life of spiritual discipline, we can answer Jesus’ call and truly follow Him!

On the Holy Mountain (Life of Christ Sermon 31)

After Peter’s great confession, Jesus shocked the disciples by plainly stating He must go to Jerusalem and be put to death. How could this be? Wasn’t He the Son of the Living God? A week passed, and Jesus ascended a high mountain with Peter, James, and John to pray. There, one of the greatest events in world history would transpire – Jesus would be transfigured before the three disciples, and they would see His divine, glorified nature. In this lesson from the Life of Christ series, Nate Bibens discusses this great event and why it was such an important occasion.
