Welcome to Fountain Church!

Discipleship is not an easy road, but it is a life-transforming journey rooted in discipline and obedience to God. In this powerful sermon, “DISCIPLESHIP HINGES ON DISCIPLINE,” Pastor Peter Mutabaruka unpacks the essential role discipline plays in spiritual growth and advancing God’s Kingdom.

Drawing from scriptures like Romans 12:1–2 and Luke 9:23, Pastor Peter challenges us to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, renew our minds, and deny ourselves daily to follow Christ. With practical insights and biblical wisdom, this message equips you to stay the course, persevere through trials (James 1:12), and ultimately finish the race of faith (2 Timothy 4:7–8).

Key Takeaways:
• Discipline is essential for spiritual maturity (1 Timothy 4:7–8).
• True discipleship requires self-denial and daily surrender (Luke 9:23).
• Perseverance in faith leads to eternal reward (James 1:12; 2 Timothy 4:7–8).
• Living a life of love and service reflects Kingdom values (Romans 12:9–21).

Remember that in Christ you are free from sin. The word shall set you free indeed. As a believer in Jesus Christ, you have the gift of eternal salvation. Put your trust in Him.

Many pastors today preach a gospel that makes converts but not disciples. This results from "non-discipleship gospels," which exclude the necessity to follow Jesus from their message. Making disciples requires intentionality, starting with the foundation of what we teach those in our care.

How we present the message of Jesus has powerful implications. There are many differing "gospels" in the Church today. We need to reclaim the power and responsibility of the Kingdom-focused, Discipleship Gospel.

In this webinar, Ben Sobels author of The Discipleship Gospel, walks us through the key elements of Jesus' Kingdom Gospel, what our response must be, and the implications in our church's discipleship strategy.

ITEC is excited to release the LIFE Study, a nine week study designed to be used in a small group or as a personal devotion. The LIFE Study helps us look at what the Bible teaches about different areas of our lives, and helps us apply those Truths in a practical way. The areas explored through this study include: success, financial, career, family, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual. The LIFE Study is a tool for real world, practical discipleship to encourage living intentionally in every area of life, reflecting the love and light of Christ into a world that is dark and without hope.

ITEC is an organization that is focused on creating tools and training systems to empower indigenous (local) Christ-followers around the world to care for the felt needs of people in their own community. Churches across North America spend a lot of time, talent, and resources on the mission fields overseas, but it is easy to only think of a third-world country when we think of missions. The truth is, we have all been called to the mission field. For some it will be overseas, others it will be to go across the street, but we are all called to go (Matthew 28:19-20). ITEC’s LIFE Focus is developing tools for discipleship and walking His Trail in all areas of life. The LIFE Study will help you take an honest assessment of your life and ask who is really writing my story? Remember, God does not want to be the editor, He wants to be the Author.

Part 4: [A Disciple] Serves as Jesus Serves
August 23, 2020

great·ness /ɡrātnəs/ the quality of being great, distinguished, or eminent.

Our world is obsessed with it. We rank people based on it. And the delusional are convinced they already embody it. But the One Who was truly Great redefined greatness with a towel and a basin of water. Jesus’ humble act of washing His disciple’s feet demonstrated the power of greatness in its ability to descend. He inverted the paradigm to define greatness as it is in God’s eyes.

DISCIPLE
What is a Christian? Someone who attends church, reads their Bible and prays? Is a Christian a person who professes faith in Christ or the creeds of the church? What is primary to our identity as Christians? It’s interesting, the word "Christian" is only found 3 times in the New Testament. Yet the word "disciple" (which means a student or apprentice or follower) occurs 269 times. The point is to be a Christian is to be a disciple. Being a disciple is not an add-on to the Christian life. It is the Christian life. Please join us in this new series that is sure to re-kindle your devotion, strengthen your walk with God, and press you more deeply into Christ.

This is a message from our church in Tulsa, OK. We hope you are encouraged to trust God more with your life and challenged to live life on mission, wherever you are.

Welcome to Church - LIVE at Eikestad. Join us as we launch a new series on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Christians and non-Christians alike want to know if Christianity makes a difference. Does being a Christian transform you and society? The Sermon on the Mount says yes it does. It gives a glimpse of what life transformed by the gospel looks like. Let's explore how life in the Kingdom of God radically contrasts life outside the kingdom.

One Hope meets Sundays 9:30am at the Eikestad Primary School main hall in central Stellenbosch. We hope to see you there!

BOOK DESCRIPTION

When the Israelites exclaimed, "Here are your gods!" at the sight of the golden calf, they were attempting to hold on to the God of their history while fashioning idols for their own purposes.



In today's Western world, plenty of shiny false gods still hold power—idols of prosperity, nationalism, and self-interest. Christians desperately need to name and expose these idols. We must retrieve the biblical emphasis on idolatry and apply it anew in our journey of following Jesus. In "Here Are Your Gods", Old Testament scholar Christopher J. H. Wright combines a biblical study of idolatry with practical discipleship. He calls listeners to consider connections between Old Testament patterns and today's culture, especially recurring temptations to trust in political power. Now as much as ever, we need a biblically informed understanding of the many ways humans make gods for themselves, the danger of idols, and how God calls us to join him in the battle against idolatry as part of his ongoing mission to be known and worshiped by all peoples.

In this video, we explore the real cost of being a disciple of Jesus Christ. Discipleship isn't just about attending church or living a comfortable Christian life. It's about total commitment and sacrifice, something that’s often watered down in modern Christianity.

We dive deep into what it truly means to count the cost of following Jesus and how we can avoid the temptation of a shallow, convenient faith. Discover why Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him with a radical, all-in commitment.

If you're serious about your walk with Christ, this video will challenge you to reflect on your own faith and take a bold step towards authentic discipleship.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

This book is quite simply, one of the most profound and important books of the 20th century. Dietrich Bonhoeffer lived a testimony of his thoughtful and engaging writers. Focusing on the most treasured part of Christ's teaching - the Sermon on the Mount with its call to discipleship, and on the grace of God and the sacrifice which that demands. // Viewed against the background of Nazi Germany, Bonhoeffer's book is striking enough. At the same time, it shares with many great Christian classics a quality of timelessness, so that it has spoken, and continues to speak powerfully, to the varied concerns of the contemporary world.
