“Any kind of evangelism that only preaches justification by faith but not sanctification in grace is not only a small gospel, it’s a false gospel. Evangelism without discipleship—that’s cheap grace—tells us that conversion is the touchdown. But friends, conversion is not the touchdown, it’s the kickoff. It’s the beginning of the game.” — J. T. English
In this sermon, J. T. English answers the question “What is discipleship?” based on the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:16–20.

We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop deep relationships to help us grow in the Christian life. Younger believers benefit from the guidance and wisdom of more mature saints as their faith deepens. But too often, potential mentors lack clarity and training on how to engage in discipling those they can influence.
