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!
