To See Is to Be Sent
As we conclude our six week series on Zume Training, we turn to John 9 and the story of a man blind from birth. Jesus healed him using a pool that literally means, “sent”. Sometimes we think we need to be fully healed before God can work through us, but what if being sent is part of God’s healing? What if the very thing we think of as weakness is a platform for God to show His glory as we step out in obedience?
The Place of Prayer
How do we go about the task of making disciples among our families, our neighbors, our acquaintances? When Jesus sent out the twelve on their first mission, He gave them a pattern to follow that we can adapt for our mission today. It involves some simple, clear steps that empower us to know where to invest our energies and what to do when people are not open.
We Get To…
I hear many people talking about Jesus coming back and I wonder about the motivation. Why do they want Him to return? If He did return soon, where would He find our hearts? What would He find me busy doing?

Do you ever become so familiar with something that it loses its effect on you? Many of us have heard the Gospel, the good news, so many times that we can forget how amazing it really is when a life is transformed by Jesus. This week we’ll look at a snapshot of a woman who is used by God to bring many in a town to faith in Jesus. It’s a familiar story, but as we unpack it this week, we hope to have our hearts softened and opened to the wonder of the Gospel again.
How Do We Go from a Consuming Christian to a Producing Christian?
This week through “Zume” and scripture we will take a look at how we go from being a consuming Christian to being a producer. We will compare and contrast the difference between a comfortable Christian life and a productive Christian life. Are you pursuing comfort? Or are you embracing suffering and persecution like Christ calls us to?
