Disciples of Jesus


What is a disciple? During His short life walking the earth, Jesus called twelve men to follow Him. To witness His miracles, hear His teaching and most importantly live life with Him for those brief intense years. Today Jesus is still calling people to be His disciples and amazingly to participate in showing God's love and mercy to the world, just the same as He with those first few followers. Our starting point for understanding discipleship is Jesus – his life, conduct, and teaching. Jesus is the source, substance and goal of true discipleship.

Here you will find resources on lifetime journey of being a disciple of Jesus.

Future Hope: Things are not as they Seem

It seems fitting to spend some time, standing at the beginning of a New Year full of potential and unknowns, to spend time looking at the things we're already certain of in the future.

We know more about the future than most, don't we?

As Christ-followers we actually know how it all turns out.

An Epiphany Story

A story from the morning of Epiphany. Words of encouragment at the start of a new year.

"On the morning of Epiphany, while crossing the kitchen to prepare breakfast and lunches, a whisper broke in. Then a Light broke in. 'Be strong and courageous.'"

A Story on Entitlement

One morning in late October, while I was driving to the Outreach Canada office, a big rock chip got thrown into my windshield, which cracked and broke off a piece, and left a dent on the roof top.

I was totally shocked and, later on, left with anger. 

"Why?" was the question I asked God, with anger and frustration.

Many of us have mixed feelings about the changes that diaspora movements have brought to the world and to our neighbourhood--there is no question that it represents both challenges and opportunities.

For those of us who love and follow Jesus Christ, what should our response be to those from differing religious worldviews; to those who've chosen to follow Jesus; to Christ-following communities; and to those who are sent?

Faith & Catastrophe

Meditations on Nature, Catastrophes & Everyday Suffering. Where do we begin to reason, those of us who have the time and privilege to think about it; those of us who have mere everyday problems, rather than catastrophes?  What is God thinking? How does our Christian faith help us? How can our faith (eventually) help others?
