Why Read The Bible | Find & Follow | Laura Garry
May 5, 2024
In this series, Find and Follow, we are learning what it looks like to trust Jesus fully and to be His follower. To follow Jesus means we learn to trust Him with our lives and help others trust Him with theirs, too. Pastor Aaron has been teaching us that being a disciple and helping others in their faith journey is the call of Jesus’ last words in the Gospel of Matthew. To follow Jesus means we become His students. We learn from Him and help others learn from Him. The crucial piece to remember is that we are not learning head knowledge; we are learning life with Jesus. We are learning to surrender our lives to Him in love and to participate in a growing and loving relationship with Him. Religion is trying to bring about change from the outside in, but in our relationship with Jesus, He transforms us from the inside out one day at a time so that we become like Him. We live His love into our broken and hurting world. Today, we will learn why studying the Bible is crucial to growing our relationship with Jesus.

Make Disciples | Find & Follow | Aaron Sturgis
April 28, 2024
If we are called to love God and love others, what does that really mean? The word discipleship seems mystical, but it really means just that. Being a disciple starts with an invitation, grows into transformation and spreads into replication. In the second week of Find & Follow, Pastor Aaron unpacks how we learn and implement discipleship into our own lives, and truly live out Jesus' last command, first. And when we live in a relationship with Him, our lives are then transformed from the inside out.

So many of us are fans of Jesus. We watch from afar, admiring Him and His people, but never actually following Him or telling others about Him. It takes a lifetime to learn how to live and obey Jesus fully, but it only takes a moment to experience new life, get a new heart, and for your desires, and affections to change in a moment of surrender. Learn what it means and looks like to trust Jesus fully, and to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
