If you've ever felt distant or disconnected in your relationship with God, then this week's message is for you!

Worshiping in Spirit and Truth is about engaging our emotion and our intellect. In other words, it's about giving God all we've got!

Jesus didn't just tell us we should connect with God, but He demonstrated to us what it means and looks like to connect with God through prayer. 

What does obedience have to do with following Jesus and becoming like Him? Well, as it turns out: A LOT! According to Jesus, obedience is both a key measure of becoming a disciple and a measuring factor for how much you actually love Jesus. In John 14, Jesus said those who obey Him are the ones that actually love Him.

We see the world with our natural eyes, but we see the spiritual with the eyes of the Spirit. And as we see things through the Spirit we can see things as God sees them.

Do you remember those WWJD bracelets? They asked the question, "What would Jesus do?" Though well-meaning and inspired, it's somewhat a mute question. We don't need to ask what Jesus "would" do because we already know exactly what Jesus *did* do!

Thankfully, Jesus didn't just instruct us to follow His way, but He modeled the way for us so we could live like Him and become like Him.
