Pastor Jim Taber speaks with Dr. Mikey Mewborn from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary on the topic of our effort and rigor in our journey as Next Step Disciples.

Go Deeper: Hebrews 11:6, John 14:21, Galatians 5:1

Key Points:

• We work from our salvation, not for our salvation.
• Schedule your time to spend time with God. Make a plan of what to read in the Bible. Journal in one sentence what you learned from what you read.
• There is incredible joy in knowing Jesus. There may be a cost but it is worth it.
• If the Bible is not in your hand, it won’t be in your heart.
