No choice in life makes a greater difference than our choice to follow Jesus. This one decision influences and casts a new shade on every other decision. Whether you are considering following Jesus with your life or are looking for your next step to follow Jesus, we are wise to consider what Jesus' path really looks like and includes.

Worshiping Jesus together radically re-orients our lives around the person of Jesus. When we gather as a church, we experience a unique opportunity to realize and celebrate who God is and what he has done as well as encourage one another to one another to be changed into the people God calls us to become. This weekend, we’re asking God to reveal himself to us and shape us into the individuals and the community that he has made us to be.

Following Jesus is not a solo journey but is designed to be experienced together. Sometimes the pace and structure of our modern lives seem to work against our ability to build meaningful relationships. However, being part of the body of Christ includes intrinsic connections with God’s people, and we want to create strong relationships so that we can follow Jesus together. Let’s explore some of the benefits we experience by pursuing growth together.

The writer of Hebrews tells us to motivate each other towards love and good deeds. That is the essence of serving others. God wants us to serve others by loving them and doing good deeds for them. The way Jesus loved people and gave everything for them is our motivation. The people we serve are changed by the love of Jesus, and so are we.

Joseph took Mary and Jesus into Egypt because Jesus' life was threatened. They joined a Jewish community living in exile before returning home. So much of our life includes a longing for a reality that remains beyond our grasp, a longing for a place where everything fits in its place, where everything is just right--our life could be considered a life in exile. Let's follow the steps of Jesus together to find hope in our exile.

Our character and perspective is shaped by the people we’ve interacted with and the places we have lived far more than we often realize. It’s surprising to remember how this is also true for Jesus. God chose some surprising and unassuming places to shape the life of his Son. This weekend, we consider the significance of Jesus’ hometown and the meaning behind the title we often use: Jesus of Nazareth.

In the story of beginnings from Genesis, we see humanity moving away from God in rebellion while God keeps moving closer in his grace toward humanity. To conclude this series, we find God bringing judgment to scatter people as a result of their pride. However, even in judgment God is acting graciously to create a good ending for the human story. How can we trust God with the broken parts of our lives and move away from pride to depend on him?
