The first step to FOLLOW JESUS is to hear what He said...
What did Jesus say about Himself?
What was Jesus' message?
The Time is Fulfilled
The Kingdom of God is Here
Repent and Believe
Following Jesus is a journey that shapes the order and rhythm of your life
DISCIPLESHIP: From the moment Jesus gets your attention, you are on a journey to become more like Him. And He will use people who have walked this road before you to teach you more about how to follow Jesus every day of your life
SANCTIFICATION: We never graduate past the Gospel. We only gain a deeper understanding of how much the Lord wants to shape and mold our hearts to His. Every step we take is one of repentance and faith in Christ.
PRAYER: In Jesus we have been given a relationship of prayer with our Father in heaven. We can go directly to him with our whole self. Trusting in His character and His will, receiving His provision, forgiveness, guidance and protection.
GIFTING: God formed you in your mother's womb and gifted you with talents that are unique to you. As a follower of Jesus He has also uniquely gifted you for the purpose He has for you.
PURPOSE: Our unique gifting as followers of Jesus enables us to serve the Kingdom of God as we worship the Lord through all we do, as we encourage our fellow believers and as we share Jesus with those who don't know Him yet.
RHYTHMS: There is an ebb and flow to every day, week and season that we find ourselves in. As we follow Jesus, sometimes we are walking in fruitfulness and growth while other times we are abiding and being pruned.
