As we launch 2025, we're going to get back to basics. Our mission here at Berean is "Leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ." But questions we ought to ask include: "What does a growing relationship with Jesus Christ look like?" "How can I tell if I'm growing in my relationship with Jesus?" As a church, we've identified, from Scripture, four core areas of what a growing relationship with Jesus looks like. We'll discuss the first one in order to build a foundation upon which the others will stand.
