We all face suffering and trouble in this life. In the midst of our difficulties, how can we have joy? Peter points us in the right direction.

We've all faced pushback for our views and opinions, but when we are questioned or mocked for being a Christ follower, it can make us wonder if God is really with us. What if God expected this and gave us a powerful way to think about the rejection and pushback we get? That's what we'll learn about in this series.

We have learned we need to follow Jesus no matter what and love/abide with him in the word, prayer and community, and if we do we'll bear fruit and shape our worlds. This will open the way to make disciples who make disciples IF we see that possibility everywhere.

So far we've learned that 1/if we follow Jesus and it won’t be easy, 2/we will love Christ by spending time with Him, and 3/we bear His fruit when we obey what He teaches us. All of these things will shape our world and make disciples.

Many "follow' people on social media, but how do they know who is worth following? Jesus said, "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?" Let's see what Jesus has to say about being his follower.

Maybe you've learned about Jesus, given your life to Him, and even started to grow more like Him. How do you keep going? How do you stay close to Him?
