This post is the final in our series about Mary, the mother of Jesus, also known as the first disciple. If you haven’t had the opportunity to read the first two posts, please take a moment to do so. We’ve learned about the importance of spiritual rhythms and the power of community in helping us to disciple well.
We are in the midst of a three-part blog series looking at the life of Mary as our example of living a life of discipleship. If you have not had the opportunity to read the first post I encourage you to go back and take a quick look. A significant part of our discipleship is establishing rhythms that draw us into the Word and the Holy Spirit’s presence. And yet, it doesn’t stop there. Join me for a few moments to see just how much we need one another to stay the discipleship course.
In the last few years especially, the topic of discipleship has been widely discussed. As a body of believers, we know we are called to

“I’m gonna put the fear of God in ya!” That’s an old saying that often preceded spankings. And oddly enough, it probably had nothing to
The Bible makes such a big deal about gratitude. God’s Word instructs us to give praise and thanksgiving to God for everything (Eph. 5:20), in all circumstances (1 Thess. 5:18), with all of our hearts (Psalm 9:1), with our words, (Psalm 9:1), with singing and with joy (Psalm 95:1-3).
What are you afraid of? Have you taken time today to combat your fears with the truth of God’s Word? Read these Bible verses on fear. Dwell on them. Pray through them. Speak them out loud and trust that they are true. Ask God to help you overcome your fear.
The Bible itself supports the idea that we can’t out-give God. For example, there’s the verse in Luke that says, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38).
We love capturing images of our lives. Now a new app called Bible Lens is making it possible to see those images from a different
Matthew 28 is a clear mandate. Go into all the world…and make disciples! The natural inclination of all of us is to serve and minister in the most comfortable places, usually close to home.

We’ve forgotten our own history. As a result, we don’t fully understand the present and our role in it.
“I didn’t make it to the NFL on my own,” admits Rashied Davis, formerly a wide receiver for the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions. “God put people in my life who helped me accomplish everything I’ve been able to accomplish. So it’s been my life mission from the time I met Christ to give back to those who deal with the same stuff I grew up with.”
Today Rashied has retired from the National Football League and serves as a Biblica Ambassador. And one of the Biblica projects that is especially close to his heart is The Game of Life—a sports program that is providing young people in India with the opportunity to be impacted by athletics, discipleship, testimonies of Christian athletes in their country, and the Word of God.
