“Follow Me”
When Jesus spoke these words, what did He mean? He was not offering an invitation to a destination, rather it was an invitation to a relationship with a Person who would radically change one’s way of life. What was true then is true today. Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with Jesus which results in radical life change. Following Jesus is the heart of Christianity. But what is the life of a Jesus follower all about? Answer: Relationships.
Abide. Connect. Share.
Abide.
Connect.

The Abiding Life
Following Jesus is all about relationships. First and foremost, following Jesus is about an abiding relationship with Him. It’s about that wonderful, intimate fellowship between you and your Savior. And if you think that sounds kind of simple, you’re right! It’s supposed to be simple.
The Connecting Life
As followers of Jesus, we’re to connect with other believers. God never designed us to live out our relationship with Him apart from fellowship with His family. The New Testament knows nothing of a Christianity without community. Jesus followers who are in a love relationship with God will also have genuine love for one another.
The Sharing Life
Not only did Jesus have a love relationship with the Father that spilled into a fellowship relationship with His disciples, but those connections also overflowed into relationships with people who didn’t know God at all. The same should be true for us.
Begin A Relationship With Jesus!
The invitation to know God through Jesus is available to the whole world. God invites everyone to cry out and place their faith in Him. Today, you can begin a relationship with God. You can cry out to God right where you are either in your heart or out loud
