On Sunday, January 6, 2018, Elder Mike Gowens began the New Year with a look at the Savior's call to Christian discipleship, "Follow Me," from Mark 8:34-37. In this message, Pastor Gowens defines this imperative in three terms. To follow Jesus is (1) to spend time with Jesus in personal fellowship, (2) to imitate Jesus in personal attitude and conduct, and (3) to learn of Jesus with the goal of becoming like Him. Here is the essence of what it means to live as a Christian.
