The Ways of Jesus
As followers of Jesus, we follow both His words and Ways. Often though we spend our time studying and learning the words of Jesus and forget to model our lives after the way He lived. If we want to live a Full Life in Christ and See Lives and Communities Transformed as We Become More Like Jesus (our mission and vision), we need to model our lives after the way He lived His life. Jesus lives what we call an “Integrated Life.” We’ll use the shape of a triangle as a visual aid to help us remember what we see in Scripture: Jesus prioritizes an abiding relationship with His Heavenly Father (UP); an intimate relationship with other believers where encouragement and challenge are central (IN); and a relationship of love and compassion with those who did not yet know Him (OUT). Through these relationships we see the love Jesus has for us and His desire for us to participate in bringing that love to the whole world.
