A community committed to life with God as revealed in Jesus Christ.

A class discussion led by Greg Newton at Disciples Fellowship on 4.12.26.

In this class discussion, we explore the relationship between Scripture and Christ as Truth. What does it mean to say that Jesus is truth? How does Scripture point us toward Christ, and how should that shape the way we read, understand, and live out our faith?

This conversation invites thoughtful reflection on the connection between the Bible, truth, and the person of Jesus. Rather than treating truth as an abstract idea, we consider how truth is revealed through relationship, revelation, and lived faith.

Whether you’re wrestling with questions about Scripture, theology, or the meaning of truth in the Christian life, this discussion offers a space to listen, reflect, and go deeper.

A meditation led by Greg Newton at Disciples Fellowship on 4.12.26.

In John 20:19–31, the risen Christ appears to his disciples in the midst of fear, doubt, and locked doors. In this meditation, we reflect on what it means to truly experience Christ not only as a figure of belief, but as a living presence who brings peace, breath, and renewed faith.

This passage invites us to consider how Christ meets us in our uncertainty, our questions, and our need for reassurance. Whether you identify more with the fearful disciples or with Thomas, this reflection offers space to sit with the mystery of resurrection and the invitation to believe.

If this video encourages you, consider sharing it with someone who may need a quiet word of hope today.

A meditation by Greg Newton at Disciples Fellowship on 4.5.26.

What if a new beginning doesn’t feel like a fresh start at first—but like confusion, fear, and an empty space where something used to be?

In Luke 24:1–9, a group of women come to the tomb early in the morning, carrying spices and grief. They are not expecting resurrection. They’re expecting to honor a dead friend.

Instead, they find:

The stone rolled away
The body missing
Messengers asking, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?”
A reminder of words they had forgotten
In this meditation on Luke 24:1–9, we slow down and sit with:

The quiet courage of the women who show up in the dark
The shock and disorientation of an empty tomb
The gentle rebuke and deep kindness in the angels’ question
What it means to remember what Jesus has said in the middle of our confusion
How resurrection often begins in places that feel like endings
This isn’t a debate or a detailed lecture. It’s a contemplative reflection—an invitation to bring your own endings, disappointments, and questions to the empty tomb and hear resurrection spoken into them.

If you’re longing for a new beginning but not sure what it could look like, this passage is for you.

A meditation led by Greg Newton at Disciples Fellowship on 3.29.26.

What happens when God shows up in a way we didn’t expect—and we misread the mystery?

In Matthew 21:1–11, Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, welcomed by crowds shouting “Hosanna!” They lay cloaks and branches on the road. They celebrate a king. But many of them are hoping for a very specific kind of king—one who will fit their expectations, their politics, their timelines.

In this meditation on Matthew 21:1–11, we slow down and listen to:

The strange mix of humility and royal symbolism in Jesus’ entry
The crowd’s genuine devotion—and their deep misunderstanding
How easy it is to want a Jesus who confirms our agenda
The quiet ways Jesus refuses to be reduced to our categories
What it might mean to welcome Jesus as he is, not as we wish he were
This isn’t a history lecture or a debate. It’s a contemplative reflection, inviting you to let this familiar “Palm Sunday” story ask questions of your own expectations, hopes, and disappointments.

If you’ve ever prayed for God to act and then wondered, “Is this really it? Did I misread what God was doing?” this meditation is for you.

A class discussion led by Greg Newton at Disciples Fellowship on 3.29.26.

What does the Holy Spirit actually do in the life of an ordinary follower of Jesus?

In this class discussion on Romans 8, we explore one of the richest chapters in the New Testament for understanding the Spirit’s work: no condemnation, new life, adoption, groaning, hope, and help in our weakness.

This isn’t a technical lecture meant to shut down questions. It’s a slow, thoughtful conversation that welcomes curiosity and makes space for both mystery and everyday experience.

In this session, we talk about:

What it means that there is “no condemnation” in Christ Jesus
How the Spirit sets us free from the old patterns of sin and fear
The Spirit bearing witness that we are children of God
Groaning, suffering, and the Spirit praying for us when we don’t have words
Hope, waiting, and what it looks like to live “in step” with the Spirit
If you’ve ever wondered how to connect the language of “the Holy Spirit” with your real, messy life—your fear, your habits, your longing for change—this class is for you.
