Your Next Steps Following Jesus

When you walk with Jesus, the journey of growth never ends. The Holy Spirit is given to transform you to be more like Jesus. This is a process that is done by the power of God, but takes your cooperation! So, what’s your next step today? Take it in faith, believing that God is working in and through you.

BAPTISM

Get Water Baptized

Baptism marks the start of a new life with Jesus! When you put your faith in Jesus, the next step is to be baptized. This is seen in scriptures like Acts 8:12, “But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” Learn more about baptism and get signed up with this link.

PRAYER [PART 1]
PRAYER [PART 2]

Begin to Pray 

Jesus’ disciples asked Him how they should pray. He gave them a great model recorded in Matthew 6:9-13 that Christians have used for over two thousands years. Use it to guide your own prayers by reading it, learning what each part means, and elaborating on those themes as you pray.
