What does it truly mean to be a follower of Jesus today?
The church is beautiful, yet complex. Jesus prayed that his disciples would be one, but the sad truth is that today, the church has fractured into many different denominations and traditions, which can leave the average person feeling confused or frustrated.

This problem raises a serious question: How do we know we are following Jesus, and not just the dictates of our specific church, tradition, or denomination?

To find the answer, we must strip away the centuries of tradition and return to the source: the urgent, uncompromising demands of Jesus himself in the Gospel of Mark. Mark’s account pulls no punches and cuts straight to the action.

In this session, we will explore what Jesus demands of his followers: We’ll  explore:
The Immediate turn around: The Call to Repentance and Belief
The Radical Priority: Leave Everything and Follow Him
The Central Command: The Daily Denial  and The Cross
The Leadership Dynamics: Serving to become a leader

We hope this exploration challenges our comfort zones, refocuses our core attitudes toward Jesus, and inspires a deeper, more committed relationship with him that transcends church tradition or culture.
