The more isolated you are...

"Sin demands to have a man by himself. It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive the power of sin over him...."
—Dietrich Bonhoeffer, from this article.

With a focus on Jesus, we'll explore how to be a disciple—who makes disciples—who make more disciples. Session 1 Be a Disciple (D1) Everything in life will try to pull you off the simplicity of following Jesus together with others. Session 2 Who Makes Disciples (D2) Following Jesus isn’t a subject to be mastered, but an infectious way of life that is lived together and shared with others. Session 3 Who Make More Disciples (D3) If those we disciple don’t make more disciples, then we haven’t made disciples like Jesus. When? Saturday morning, September 18, 2021 8:30 AM to 1 PM (light lunch included) Where? Open Bible Church     521 West Losey St. Galesburg, IL 61401 Who? For  anyone  interested in learni
