Welcome to

Mt. Pleasant

United Methodist Church

I am a

Child of God

I know it. I live it. I love it!

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?”

He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”

Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”

John 21:15-19

I am a

Child of God

I know it. I live it. I love it!

Disciples are a CURIOUS Bunch

Searching, Growing, Exploring

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.

Eph 4:14

Disciples are a COMMITTED Bunch

All Out, All the Time, Always!

Interest or Commitment

Giving up our small trinkets is nothing compared to God’s

noble, eternal purpose.

FOLLOW ME!Salvation is free, discipleship

will cost you your life.

Disciples are a Courageous Bunch

Risk Takers, Change Makers, Always

If we live with integrity,NOTHING else matters.

If we don’t live with integrity, NOTHING else matters.

[David] replied, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels of silver for them.”

2 Samuel 21:21

“Jesus promised his disciples three things - that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy and in constant trouble.”

— G. K. Chesterton

Discipleship is an ADVENTURE or it is nothing at all!

Is you life is like this…

Maybe you should…
