Discipleship

Everyday, you receive 2 invitations from Jesus ...


Come TO Me

Come FOLLOW Me


You're not invited to a list of behaviors

a weekly program

or a measuring stick


You're invited by the person of Jesus

to receive

and be filled

and overflow


Here's how ...

  • abide -- John 15:4

    Jesus invites you to come to Him. Your role is to simply remain attached like a branch to a vine, receiving what you need to mature as the Creator intends.


    Abide options at Redlands Church:

    • Join our experiential Bible study group
    • Be guided through a spiritual retreat
    • Interact with our Scripture wall, learning to linger and listen in God's Word

  • Bear fruit -- John 15:12

    As you receive from Jesus, He promises to produce fruit. He also says that apart from Him you can't produce anything of Godly value. Sweating and sacrificing produce nothing.

    But He will produce much fruit ... and fruit that lasts.


    Options:

    • Meet with our spiritual coach
    • Discover your spiritual gifts and how God may use them
    • Discern what God is growing in you and who/what it is intended for
    • Participate in the prayer ministry

  • overflow -- John 15:26

    Jesus produces "much fruit" so that others can receive. We'll help you learn how to recognize where and how God wants to spill over without overwhelming those who hunger.


    Options:

    • Learn how to recognize the needs of people around you
    • Discover your story with God and how it can bless others
