A vast majority of us actively choose to not lead. We self-exclude. “Leadership is not for everyone,” they say defiantly. Today we hear a different word. Today we learn that leadership is influence. When 1more person chooses to be a leader, more and more people learn how to follow Jesus. Jesus is looking for 1more leader. Will you choose to be a leader? Text: Luke 10:1-9: John 20:21 |

Perhaps the most memorable tagline ever was “Just DO it.” With that bold exhortation, NIKE encouraged many people to get physically active. Jesus teaches us today that His friends are the ones who DO. There is a stark contrast between those who choose to be friends and those who do not. When 1more person chooses to be a friend, there is a rippling effect of love that transforms our neighborhoods, our communities, and our world. Jesus is looking for 1more friend. Will you choose to be a friend? Text: Luke 10:25-37 |

Jesus builds a community of believers, equips them, and then sends them out to carry his mission forward. Many are persecuted and even killed for their faith in Jesus. In the midst of their struggles and circumstances, God gives a message of hope and victory to believers to help them persevere. Is the cost of being a Jesus-follower worth it? Where does your allegiance lie? Text: Acts 1:8 |

Just who is Jesus? He is our “all in all”. Who do you say that he is? Text: Philippians 2:5-11 |
