The Shepherd’s Journey

09/28/2025 - Sarah Ingram - Following Jesus


Listen Later

Sis. Sarah teaches that following Jesus is not a one-time decision, but a lifelong walk of surrender, obedience, and relationship. Jesus doesn’t call us to admire Him from a distance or add Him as an accessory to our plans — He calls us to follow Him, step by step, in His footsteps. True freedom, joy, and purpose are found not in doing what we want, but in walking where He leads.

 

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS
  1. Following Jesus is a daily surrender, not a one-time choice.

    Discipleship means direction — step by step, day by day.

  2. Self must die for Christ to lead.

    “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me” is simple to understand but costly to live.

  3. Jesus is the only path to life, freedom, and purpose.

    When we follow His steps — in love, holiness, forgiveness, and obedience — we find true freedom, peace, and joy.
