Jesus extended the greatest invitation to His disciples, "Come and follow Me and I will make you to become fishers of men." This invitation extended in Matthew 4 also defined what a disciple is: One who is called by Jesus, changed by Jesus and challenged by Jesus mission. 

In this opening message of our new series, we explore Jesus’ question, “Who do you say that I am?” from Matthew 16. At Caesarea Philippi, Peter declared, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God,” and Jesus responded by promising to build His church upon that confession. Using the analogy of physical health versus heart disease, this message reminds us that our greatest need is not outward improvement but a transformed heart surrendered to Jesus Christ.

The ultimate model for an Even If faith is Jesus Christ. In this message from Matthew 26 and Jesus's prayer in the garden, we learn that an "Even If" faith is one that is obedient to God, even if it costs you everything. This is the culminating message from this year's DiscipleNow weekend.

Standing on the edge of promise, God calls His people to preparation before movement. From Joshua 3 and Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, this message reminds us that God shapes our hearts before He advances our steps. As we consecrate ourselves and seek first His kingdom, we learn to trust God’s presence to lead us—into new seasons, new obedience, and the wonders He has ahead.

In Matthew 18, Jesus tells of a servant forgiven a massive debt who refuses to forgive a small one. It’s a reminder that unforgiveness traps us in bitterness, while grace frees us. We forgive not because others deserve it, but because we have been forgiven far more by Christ. Forgiven people forgive people — releasing the offense, healing the heart, and reflecting the One who canceled every debt at the cross.
