How You'll Grow:
“Where do you dwell?” (John 1:38). This first question asked of Jesus in John’s Gospel becomes the roadmap to understanding discipleship. How are we to learn, serve, connect, pray and worship as a community if we do not first dwell in Jesus? This presentation explores the differences among followers, disciples, and apostles in the Gospels so as to help us dwell more fully in Jesus.
