This sermon focuses on the relational nature of discipleship and challenges the common misconception that discipleship is primarily about transferring biblical knowledge through structured Bible study programs. Pastor Sam argues that Jesus modeled a relational approach to discipleship, building genuine friendships first and then naturally weaving the gospel into those relationships. He draws on his own experience of starting small groups in his home, showing how three groups over nine years grew to over eight groups and more than a hundred people, simply by being intentional about relationships built around a shared love for Jesus.
