“Follow Me...”

Follow Jesus—the call to personal faith.

It is a call that changes your everyday life—to walk with a Person.

Look how Jesus said it:

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (Matt 16:24-25)

Following Jesus is a call to:

Deny: “deny” yourself…

• Daily living: “take up cross—daily” (7.0)

• Discover new life: “loses his life for my sake will find it.”

The call to follow is a call to find new life and new joy for living. But we can’t make this great discovery on our own. We have our eyes on Jesus, following Him, and then look around to discover that in losing our life---we really found it!

"…but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”

Remember, it is:

  • Daily. (7.0) Seven days a week.
  • A call to a Person.
  • A call to follow.
