Avenue Church Podcast

In order to produce "much fruit," disciples of Jesus need a structure, a plan, a rule of life to grow. This week, we look at the practices and structures that have provided structure for generations of Christians as we seek to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells his disciples that they will do even greater things than these. Discipleship means doing what Jesus did so that God can work through us. Join us as we continue our series Practicing the Way of Jesus.

As we practice the way of Jesus, we must first "be" with Jesus. He taught us to remain in him if we want to be fruitful in our Christian walk. This morning we will dive into John 15 and what it means to live life with Jesus.

In the Gospels, Jesus regularly invites listeners to consider a different way of living. As people of The Way, we are often called to "go against the flow" of the world around us.

The call to be disciples of Jesus is a call to apprentice with Jesus, following and doing what Jesus did. As we begin our series, Practicing the Way of Jesus, we look at what it means to apprentice with Jesus.

We kick off our Fall series, Practicing the Way, by consider how we can live the life that God calls us to. We are not called to a belief system, but a way of life only found in Jesus Christ. sorry for the poor audio, we were outside and did not have our normal methods of capturing the audio.   Series is based on John Mark Comer's book,  Practicing the Way of Jesus.
