TREK is participating in the current series at FBCG entitled Taking Hold: Knowing and Following Jesus.  After our efforts during the love life? series at informing parents of what we covered and encouraging follow up in the home, we thought that we would continue to this effort for this series. In order to get up to speed check out this short clip from a sermon by Francis Chan that we looked at in TREK last week….

I Jn 2:6 says it so bluntly, “Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.” Those words have been sticking with me. We must walk as Jesus did. Chan said it so well when he stated that, “we like Jesus as a Savior but not as a role model”. So in this upcoming series we are going to be tackling the question of how? How do we walk as Jesus walked? How does that become more than a W.W.J.D. bracelet in our lives? How does it become real and living and changing? What are the essentials that help us become men and women that are being shaped into the image of Jesus? How?

Pastor Brian and Pastor Jeff challenged us to be in service every week for this series. I hope that you will chose to answer that challenge and join us in the journey.
