Last Night

We started a new series last night looking at Luke 9:23 and the idea of Follow.  
We all follow something but do we understand the implications and the call behind this truth.  Jesus made it very clear what it means to follow Him. But have we reduced what this means in light of us living in a world and culture that seems to make things easier.

So two big questions this November.  Who's leading you and who are you leading?
Show me who you're following and I'll show you your future.
Attached are the notes from last night as we introduced the study and were challenge to think hard about who it is we're following.  There is that which we claim and then there is the truth expressed in how we live, act, breathe and move.

Next week we dive in to what it means to follow Christ.  Do we know and are we heading in the direction Christ desires?

Follow, Week 1
