Luke 9:35-36

We know that the world and culture we live in offer competing claims against God’s direction and intention for his people. Which will we trust and choose to follow after? For this series, we are going to look at three invitations from Jesus on what God promises us in terms of purpose and fulfillment, and in all three, He beckons us to come to Him and experience life.

Jesus has the authority and all the glory in the days to come. We anticipate this dearly, wanting to be filled more and more with the Holy Spirit.

One way to understand what God wants to do through us by the power of the Holy Spirit is to take a closer look at what He did through Jesus’ disciples by the power of the same Holy Spirit. Take Peter, for instance, the first apostle to speak up at Pentecost. His life is a case study for the kind of radical transformation the Holy Spirit brings about in people who put their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.  

There is so much more to being a man than the world would have us believe. In this Growth Challenge we will look at the lives of six Biblical heroes and one anti-hero. These men faced the same challenges we face today. Their success (or lack of) was directly related to how closely they walked with God.
