If Jesus were living on earth as a full-fledged human being in the 21st century, what would his lifestyle be like? How would Jesus make purchasing decisions? What would his wardrobe be like? What kind of car would Jesus drive? Would he have a cell phone? What would he do for fun? How would Jesus respond to the moral and ethical challenges of our day? How would Jesus respond to those in poverty?
In October, we begin a new series for Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings that asks, What Would Jesus REALLY Do?
By definition, a Christian is a follower of Jesus. Through the amazing gift of salvation, Jesus forgives our sin and sets us on a new course in life…a course of learning, growing, and serving as we follow his guidance. As Christians, we are to be followers of Jesus everyday of our lives. As we study Jesus’ teachings, as we gather with other believers to worship, and as we spend time in daily conversation with Jesus, we grow to incorporate more and more of his values and perspectives in our own lifestyle.
This week we also begin our Fall Discipleship Series. On Sunday evenings during October and November we will meet in Pleitz Chapel at five o’clock to study Religions of the World.
I hope to see you each Sunday in October in Bible study and worship as we discover more of the Christ-centered life.
