What does it mean to follow Jesus?
The term "follower of Jesus" is a common phrase, but have you ever considered the significance of being a disciple or a student of Jesus? In essence, it involves restructuring your life to think, speak, and act like Him. Our desire is that by adopting His lifestyle, both our individual lives and the communities we are a part of will undergo a profound transformation.
Reaching People For Jesus.
Building Our Lives On Jesus.
Meet Jesus.
If you've never fully committed your life to Jesus, you can do that right now. There are some key things to believe:
THE PROBLEM
Your sin separates you from God.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
GOD'S SOLUTION
The cross demonstrated God's love for you.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
THE GIFT
You can receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
YOUR RESPONSE
Make Jesus the Lord of your life and believe.
If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
HOW TO PRAY
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and then rose from the dead. I want to turn from my sin and confess you as the Lord and Savior of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
BE WATER BAPTIZED
When you become a follower of Jesus, your next step is to follow Him in water baptism. Let us connect you to our Water Baptism Class for an opportunity to talk through your new identity, your new family, and your new purpose that you have in Jesus. Our Water Baptism Class is usually the third Sunday of the month, and we typically do baptisms the last Sunday of each month.
What does it mean to live Jesus’ way of life?
Following Jesus is a lifelong pursuit, not limited to Sundays, but a way of life within a community centered around his teachings. Living Jesus’ "way of life” means adopting his lifestyle and applying his teachings to all aspects of life. We believe this transformation is possible even in the chaos of the digital age and demanding work schedules in the Bakken region. Through teaching, practice, community, and the Holy Spirit, we can authentically change and grow as disciples of Jesus.
