Most local churches try to do too many things. They seek to worship God, serve the poor, reach lost people, proclaim justice, support one another and on and on. In this eBook, Founding and Lead Pastor Bobby Harrington pursues the assertion that if we try to “do all these things” without seeing them through our core focus of discipleship, people will lack direction and clarity. He reviews New Testament teachings that show how discipleship is the core mission that God would want us to uphold in any Biblical church.
