Discipleship Explored: A Study in Philippians

 

Disciple means follower or learner. A disciple isn’t a super-Christian, in fact, Jesus assumes all his followers are disciples. Build upon your foundation of trust in who Jesus is and what He did for you through His life, death, and resurrection during this 8-session study in the book of Philippians. Join others to discover how to live with wholehearted confidence in Christ as we become more like Him.
