Summary
“He went up the mountain and called to him those whom he wanted, and they came to him. And he appointed twelve to be with him and to be sent out to preach and to have authority to cast out demons. So he appointed the twelve…”
Mark 3:13-16
Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. From the beginning, Jesus called people into community, inviting the disciples to be with Him and to grow together. In the same way, we grow in our faith when we walk with others who encourage us, challenge us, and support us.
Throughout the early Church, people like Paul, Barnabas, and Timothy lived their faith together, showing us that discipleship is not just “me and Jesus,” but “we and Jesus.”
You are not alone on the journey. The invitation this week is to lean into your community—reach out, share, and support one another as you grow in faith together.
