Being led by Jesus, God’s Messiah, means significant change – expressed in the idea of death that leads to life – trusting God’s call to obedience enough that no price is too great to find his kingdom.

Jesus’ invites both those with a “questionable” past and those with an “impeccable” record to understand their debt, receive forgiveness, and enter into his life as his apprentices.

Jesus meets us exactly where we are, from a host of different stories and backgrounds, qualifies us for his “school” of apprenticeship exactly as we are so that we can experience his life and join him in a way of life with an infinitely greater purpose.

Apprenticeship to Jesus is not just an individual journey, but a communal one.

Jesus launched his ministry inviting people into the eternal life of the kingdom by making apprentices.

An apprentice is a person who is loved by Jesus (Come), led by Jesus (Follow Me), to become like Jesus (I Will Make You), so they can lead others to Jesus (Fishers of People).

The ultimate goal of apprenticeship is to love God and to love others.

Riley Dueck joins Pastor Jeff in bringing us our final track in the summer playlist, "Dear World" by EchoSmith.

Pastor Jeff takes us through track 5 in our summer playlist with "Piece by Piece" by Kelly Clarkson. We talk about dealing with rejection and use the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery to illustrate how God accepts us and loves us unconditionally.
