This week, we’re diving into week 5 of our series, The Life of a Jesus Follower. Over the past month, we’ve explored how Jesus connected with His followers and shared the Good News with others. Now, we’re shifting to the ABIDE relationship, with Jesus’ deep, personal connection with the Father as our example. We’ll be teaching from Mark 3:13-14, helping students understand that God invites us into a relationship with Himself, working in and through us out of the overflow of our abiding relationship with Him!

As we finish up share this week, we take an inside look at the life of Jesus and His burdens. It's clear that Jesus' heart was burdened by people who did not know him.
This week we challenge our students to step out in boldness and invite their friends to our upcoming One Night on September 11. Who's your "ONE?"

As we continue to look at the life of a Jesus follower, we now turn our focus to the key word "share."
Check out these statistics:
- 1.6 billion people have never heard one time the truth of the gospel and have no access to it.
- Of the 2.2 million people in Las Vegas 92% declared no relationship with Jesus. That's over 2 million people.
These statistics should burden our hearts for our friends, and should lead us to respond by making Jesus known to others. This week we begin to challenge students to identify their one. Who is the one friend they can invite to our upcoming One Night event on September 11?
Week 2 (Connect)
August 21, 2024 • Mel Godinez (One Service) • John 13:35, 1 Peter 4:8–10, Acts 2:42–47, Galatians 6:2
Why is community with other believers so important? The life of a Jesus follower is all about relationships. When you begin a relationship with God, you begin a relationship with His family. This week we dive into three reasons community is important in the life of a Jesus Follower.
1. We need others to grow in intimacy with God
2. We need others to walk through the ups and downs of life
3. We need others to accomplish the mission
Our relationship with God is designed to be lived out with others and biblical community leads to life on mission!
