Next Steps with Jesus: His Story, Message, and Mission is a three-week class designed to help you move forward in your faith, whether you’re new to the journey or simply wanting to grow.
In week one, we’ll explore the story of Jesus through the four Gospels. We’ll consider why they are trustworthy accounts and look at the unique purpose and themes of each, as well as how they collectively portray Jesus. At the center of his life and ministry is the good news of the Kingdom of God, and a call to repent and believe, which we’ll begin to unpack together.
In week two, we’ll focus on the message of Jesus. We’ll look at how he communicated the good news, including his role as a rabbi and his use of parables. We’ll explore how the gospel speaks into our lives through forgiveness, restoration, and renewed purpose, and we’ll engage key teachings from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) with practical ways to live them out.
In week three, we’ll turn to the mission of Jesus. He invites us into a story bigger than ourselves, as his disciples, learning to follow him together. We’ll talk about what it looks like to take tangible next steps in everyday life through practices like Scripture reading, prayer, community, and serving others in meaningful, holistic ways.
