Lesson 6

Main Idea: Faithful following means doing what Jesus asks regardless of the worldly outcome.

Head Change: To know that following Jesus includes times of celebration and times of persecution.

Heart Change: To feel free from the burden of believing that we alone are responsible for someone else’s salvation.

Life Change: To practically strategize how we may share the good news of Jesus.

This passage deals with some of the more difficult realities of following Jesus. His message doesn’t always go over well. But he invites us to practice the mission before we may feel ready. And we’ve seen that following Jesus will cost us.
