What does it really mean to follow Jesus?

In this message from Mark 3:13–19, we see that before Jesus ever sends His disciples out, He first calls them to be with Him. This passage reveals a powerful truth: the Christian life is not primarily about what we do for Christ, but about walking in relationship with Him.

Tracing the story of Scripture—from the Garden of Eden, to the tabernacle, to the coming of Christ as Immanuel, God with us—we are reminded that God’s desire has always been to dwell with His people. What was broken by sin is restored through Jesus, who calls us not just to believe, but to follow Him daily.

Whether you are new to the faith or have been walking with Christ for years, this message will challenge and encourage you to prioritize being with Jesus above everything else.
