Foundation Stones

Jesus prayed! On one side of the coin, we know Jesus prayed. On the other side, it puzzles our mind. Jesus prayed? Wasn't Jesus God in the flesh? If so, what does the model of Jesus' prayers show us about our Heavenly Father, and about how we should be praying in our life? This Foundation Stone will help you in your everyday life as a person of prayer!

It's really easy to get off track in our Christian walk, wandering into other agendas and still labeling it Christianity. But to be "Just Like Jesus", it would be good to see what Jesus focused on as His Number One Priority and Number One Mission! Only when we do what Jesus did can we truly be "Christ-like"! Let's explore together.

Influence is a powerful thing. Somehow in our culture we may have gotten the idea that influence is our voice behind someone shouting direction at them as to which way to go based on our personal opinion. Jesus didn't lead like this. In fact, His way of influencing people looked quite a bit different than this in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In this next installment of our series "Just Like Jesus", we take a look at how we can actually influence people with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the way that Jesus did while He walked the earth!

There's a lot of things we like to slap the name "Christian" on. But is it possible that we are asking Jesus to follow us in our footsteps instead of us following in His? To truly be "Christ-like" (Christ-ian), does our life match up to the life He lived? If it doesn't, we may have to embrace the hard truth that we're not actually a "Christ-Centered" Christian.  Wouldn't it be a joy to know that our lives look like the life Jesus lived while He was on earth? Let's explore the Word of God and let the Holy Spirit reveal what being Christ-like is all about!

Matthew 11:28-30 is our text today.
