Following Jesus
What does it mean to follow Jesus?
God loves you right where you are, but He loves you too much to leave you where you are. Following Jesus means embracing a life of surrender to Him. Its more than a one-time prayer or consistent church attendance. Its a gritty, heart-level posture that affects every area of life. And there’s always a next step.
As we read through scriptures we cant help but notice a path that God most often leads His people. It starts with knowing and loving Him and leads to knowing and loving people. Were convinced following Jesus in an invitation to
- Know God
- Grow in Freedom
- Discover Purpose
- Go Make a Difference
LOVE LEAD CHURCH as a group of institutions who are dedicated to help you identify and take your next step in the safety and freedom of community.
God
You were created to know God relationally. This is more than head knowledge. The incarnation and the cross show us the infinite length God is willing to go to have a close, intimate relationship with us. He doesnt just love us. John 3:16 says God so loved us. Following Jesus means knowing and being known by a God who is wild about us.
We consider it a great privilege to make everyone know God.
In Freedom
Following Jesus also means becoming more like Him. Your salvation and eternity are secure the moment you accept Jesus as your savior, but your sanctification (spiritual maturity) is a journey that doesnt happen in isolation. Becoming more like Jesus means letting go of your past and growing in freedom surrounded by a loving community.
Purpose
God didnt just save you from something, He saved you for something! You were created in the image of God with a unique purpose. Often the thing He saves you from is connected to the thing He wants to use you for. Purpose isnt something we create or choose, its something we discover in the content of community. Discovering your kingdom purpose is a journey and were committed to help you every step of the way.
Make a difference
Finally, following Jesus means going out into our world, loving our neighbor, and making a positive difference.
We find great joy in giving generously; praying boldly, serving consistently and helping other people find and take their next step. Freely we have received; freely we go make a positive difference!
We believe the Church was always meant to be a church on the move in Different locations. Not a building! Not a weekly meeting alone But A movement. We invite you to come be a part.
