DISCIPLES MAKE DISCIPLES

What does Jesus call a win? Churches are really good at counting attendance, giving, decisions, volunteers, programs, and events. Those things matter, but it’s possible to get really good at keeping score without ever stopping to ask if we’re measuring what matters to Jesus.

Jesus calls us not simply to gather crowds or grow churches, but to make disciples who make disciples. Throughout His ministry, Jesus modeled a life of discipleship: inviting people to be with Him, become like Him, and do what He did. At Grace Church, our vision is to cultivate this Spirit-led willingness to multiply disciples through Huddles, where we grow in Christlikeness and equip others to do the same for the Kingdom of God.

multiplying churches

In Acts 13 the church in Antioch begins as a local community of disciples, but becomes a launching point for disciple-makers who take the gospel to reach the nations. This week, we explore what it means to become a church that doesn't just gather people, but sends them.

Sending begins with prayer and worship, requires a willingness to give God our best, and often comes with opposition, but sending ultimately bears fruit. As Grace Church prayerfully pursues the opportunity to multiply through a new campus in East Clairemont, we are reminded that making more disciples eventually makes more churches. God invites each of us to participate in His mission by being willing, available, and obedient to wherever He leads.

Unless the lord builds the house

In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul reminds us that while we are called to faithfully plant, water, and build, it is ultimately God who gives the growth. As Grace Church looks toward new opportunities to multiply and expand, we must resist the temptation to rely on our own experience, strategies, and successes rather than depending fully on God. Jesus Christ must remain the foundation of everything we do.

Whether in our church, our ministries, or our everyday lives, we are called to work faithfully, remain humble, and trust God to accomplish what only He can do.

WHAT DOES IT COST?

Vision Series 2026 wraps up by talking about something we can't afford to overlook: What does it cost? In John 12, Jesus uses a simple illustration to explain something profound. Unless a seed falls into the ground and dies, it remains just one seed. But when it's planted, it produces a harvest.

It's a surprising picture of how God's kingdom works. Life comes through death. Fruitfulness comes through surrender. And sometimes the very things we're trying hardest to hold on to are the things God is asking us to let go of.

This has a lot to say to us as individuals, but also to our church as we consider what God is inviting us into next. Jesus is worthy of whatever following Him might cost.
