I Have Decided

When someone says, “I have decided to follow Jesus,” what does that mean? What
does it look like? Are we supposed to live our faith publicly and boldly, or should we keep it to ourselves? Sometimes, we want to live a life of faith and doing good, but we struggle to stay with it over time. What can help? PC talks about this today.

Encounters with Jesus are powerful.
Matthew 3:14-15 NLT
Following Jesus is a choice.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “Discipleship means allegiance to Christ, and it is expressed in daily decisions.”
Luke 3:21-22 NIV
The Holy Spirit responds to obedience.
D.L. Moody: “God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves. If we take the first step in obedience, He always meets us there.”
