Jesus: The Way Maker

Who is Jesus? He’s the one who bridges the gap between us and God. He’s the one who died on the cross to take away our sins. He’s the one who rose from the dead and conquered death. He’s the one who is always with us, and whose love never fails. Jesus is our friend, our healer, our provider, and our savior. He is everything to us, and we are grateful for everything he has done for us.

Discipleship: Following Jesus

Jesus is our lord and savior, but he wants us to be his follower. He calls us his disciple – a pupil who learns from someone else’s teaching, or an apprentice in an occupation. In this way of life, we submit ourselves to the love of Jesus Christ, learning from him how to live better lives. The people at church are our community of disciples. We are all learning together to become better followers of Christ.

The Bible

The Bible is the Holy and infallible Word of God. It is a compilation of 66 different books, written by many different people over a period of 1500 years. It’s the story of God’s interaction with humanity, and it covers everything from creation to the end of time. The Bible is our roadmap for life – it tells us how to have a relationship with God, how to love others, and how to serve and help others. It’s also full of wisdom and guidance for every situation we might face. The Bible is a treasure trove of information, and it’s a book that we can return to again and again for guidance, encouragement, and strength.

But what if you want to study the Bible more in-depth? Here are some tips for reading the Bible with understanding:

-When you read, read actively. This means don’t just sit back and let the words wash over you – actually think about what you’re reading! Take note of names, places, dates, events, themes, etc. Think about who is speaking to whom and why they are saying what they are saying. Think about how this passage fits into the overall story of the Bible, and how it affects you personally, today.

-Try reading the entire book of Luke or Matthew at once, instead of just one chapter a day. This will put the passages in context – if you read only one verse at a time, you might be missing some of the messages.

-Make sure you are reading with an open heart. Let yourself be challenged, let yourself learn more about God’s love for you and how he wants to help you in your life today. Let your understanding grow as you read the Bible.

-If something doesn’t make sense, ask questions! Churches are treasure troves of knowledge and advice, so don’t be afraid to ask questions if you’re confused or curious about something. Churches are always welcoming and happy to answer your questions with the help of a pastor, elder, priest, etc.

Prayer

Prayer is one of the most important things we can do as Christians. It’s a way for us to communicate with God, and it’s also a way for us to draw closer to him. Prayer is simply talking to God – telling him our thoughts, our fears, our joys, and our concerns. We can pray anywhere, at any time – in fact, Jesus encouraged his followers to pray constantly.

Prayer is not just about speaking words though. It’s also about listening to what God has to say to us. We can listen for his voice in nature, in the Bible, or even through other people. When we take the time to listen prayerfully, we open ourselves up to receive guidance and direction from God.

Prayer is also a way for us to keep track of our relationship with God. If we never answer, how will he know that we’re even here? Prayer allows us to tell him what’s on our minds and in our hearts – it keeps the lines of communication open between us.

Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24) – this means that when we pray, God hears us. It may not happen right away or the way we thought it would happen, but what matters is that he cares about what we’re asking for. This is a great comfort for us – we can talk to God about anything, and he’s listening!
