2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” We believe Scripture is authoritative in the life of the believer not because it is endorsed by a human being but because God authenticates Himself through Scripture. God reveals Himself through the Scripture that speaks of Him. Therefore, Scripture is essential for knowledge of God and knowing the living person of God. Scripture also helps us to discern Truth (of God) and through Scripture, the Spirit (God himself) changes and forms the lives of believers. For these reasons, God’s people come to delight in Scripture and meditate on it day and night. It is foundational for the Christian to study the Bible to know and love the Lord.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
– 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV)
Reconsidering Discipleship
Meeting Time: Last 3 Sunday’s of the month 11am-12pm, September 20 – November 29, 2026
Location: White House
Class Description
The word “discipleship” has become synonymous with the Christian faith. We hear this word everywhere in church. We use it in sermons and Bible studies, we use it in leadership meetings, and Christians often refer to themselves as disciples. But when was the last time we examined what discipleship really is? More importantly, how discipleship is being lived out or not being lived out in our lives? And why is it being lived out or not? This class seeks to look to the Bible to answer some of these questions, to create dialogue about our discipleship, and where we don’t have answers, to bring our discipleship before Christ in prayer.
Learning Outcomes
- To learn or be reminded of what discipleship is
- To reconsider our own discipleship to Christ in light of these classes
- To have dialogue about the strengths and weaknesses of our discipleship
- To bring our discipleship before Christ where we lack answers
