What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this powerful finale to the Marks of a True Disciple series, John Gunter unpacks how true discipleship is lived out in committed community. From Acts 2 to Matthew 7, we’re reminded that Christian life is more than belief, it’s belonging.

In this episode:

• Why you can’t follow Jesus without His people
• What Scripture says about the “one another” life
• How community shapes your spiritual endurance

Let this message challenge how you think about church, connection, and calling.

Hope is more than a feeling. It is the steady anchor of a disciple’s life, grounded in the promises of God and secured by the resurrection of Jesus. In this message, John Gunter explores what it means to live with a hope that sustains and strengthens, especially in times of uncertainty and pain.

With passages like Hebrews 6:19, 1 Peter 1:3–6, Lamentations 3:21–24, and Romans 15:13, this sermon invites listeners to anchor their lives not in outcomes, but in the unchanging character of God.

Discipleship is not sustained by sheer willpower. It is sustained by hope that holds.
