You’re Invited
Into God’s Family through Jesus alone.
Have you invited Jesus into your heart for the forgiveness of sins and make you right with God for eternity?
Tell your story of how you came to put your faith and trust in Christ.
To Jesus way of life.
Jesus didn’t die for cheap grace!
Cheap grace is preaching forgiveness without repentance; it is baptism without the discipline of community; it is the Lord’s Supper without confession of sin; it is absolution without personal confession.
Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without the living, incarnate Jesus Christ.
(Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

What we will strive for
Salvation and sanctification are the work of God’s sovereign grace; our work as His disciples is to disciple lives until they are wholly yielded to God.
One life wholly devoted to God is of more value to God than one hundred lives simply awakened by His Spirit.
(Oswald Chambers)

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
(Lao Tzu)
Memorize Mark 8:34-35 or 1 Timothy 4:8
Rearrange my priorities to follow Jesus through The Journey
Write down and detail how I am committed to Christ in my life and list the spiritual goals I have.
Keep living a mediocre spiritual life because I don't think I can do what God wants me to
