God isn’t distant, disinterested, or mad at you. He created you specifically on purpose. He loves you, likes you, and enjoys you! He invites all of us to experience a life more fulfilling and satisfying than we can imagine. We find this life by practicing the Art of Following Jesus.
Main Points:
[01:26] The Kingdom of God is here now and it is discovered by simply following Jesus.
[02:42] Following Jesus is not difficult but it is all-consuming. It is not burdensome but it requires us to completely change our lives.
[04:20] If we want to have untypical lives we have to commit to doing untypical things.
[07:01] When we follow Jesus we can’t help but become the light of the world.
[07:47] Jesus Followers shine so that others may see Jesus.
[11:28] The goal of practicing the Art of Following Jesus is to learn how to live a “questionable life.”
[16:30] When we practice the Art of Following Jesus our questionable lives will shine the light of Jesus and change the world around us.
Invitation: [12:20]
