The Life of A
Jesus Follower

On the shore of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus invited his first disciples to take a journey that would change their lives. He invited them onto this journey with 2 two simple words: “Follow me (Mark 1:17).”  When Jesus spoke these words, what did He mean? He was not offering an invitation to a destination, rather it was an invitation to a relationship and an invitation to a certain way of life that would radically transform those early disciples and every person He’s invited to follow Him since.  What was true then is true today. Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with Jesus which results in radical life change. The life of a Jesus follower is all about relationships!

ABIDE

Following Jesus is all about relationships. First and foremost, following Jesus is about an abiding relationship with Him. It’s about that wonderful, intimate fellowship between you and your Savior. And if you think that sounds kind of simple, you’re right! It’s supposed to be simple.

CONNECT

As followers of Jesus, we’re to connect with other believers. God never designed us to live out our relationship with Him apart from fellowship with His family. The New Testament knows nothing of a Christianity without community. Jesus followers who are in a love relationship with God will also have genuine love for one another.

SHARE

Not only did Jesus have a love relationship with the Father that spilled into a fellowship relationship with His disciples, but those connections also overflowed into relationships with people who didn’t know God at all. The same should be true for us.

Every four years at Hope Church, we take several weeks to do a deep dive into what the life of a Jesus follower looks like. Throughout the series, we provide sermon resources, a devotional guide, and other tools for the series to help you grow in your relationship with God, with other believers, and with people who are far from God. Enjoy the journey!
