Following The Way: The Simple Patterns of Jesus
This four-week series explores the importance of following Jesus. Sometimes the church does a poor job of reflecting Christ to the world, so humbly acknowledging the church’s faults is an important place to start. Once we confess our sins, we can reconnect with following the way of Jesus, reflecting his image to the world. As we follow Jesus, we will see the Scriptures through the lens of his work on the cross and in the resurrection, and we will come to understand the importance of literally functioning as his physical body in this world.
Using This Series Guide
The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.
Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.
This series includes 4 weeks of content.
The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.
It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.
We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.
Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
