Most believers understand the importance of gathering. It’s where faith begins to take shape. We come together to worship, to hear the Word, to remember who God is and who we are. But gathering is not the finish line of discipleship. It’s the starting point. Jesus never intended His people to stay where they started. He calls us into a life that actually grows.

And that’s the shift we’re making today. 

Today we step into the GROW part of the discipleship process by listening to Jesus’ invitation: “Abide in Me.” Because everything that comes next—every step of maturity, every act of obedience, every piece of fruit—flows from that one decision to abide.
