The Commitments of a Jesus Follower

Counting the Cost of Following Christ

Have you ever stopped to consider what Jesus actually expects from those who choose to follow Him?

Following Jesus Is a Wholehearted Commitment

Following Jesus is one of life's greatest privileges—but it is also one of life's greatest commitments.

Jesus never invited people to casual discipleship. He called them to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him wholeheartedly. Throughout the New Testament we discover that genuine discipleship involves intentional choices, surrendered priorities, faithful obedience, and a lifelong commitment to becoming more like Christ.

The COMMITMENTS of a Jesus Follower explores the biblical commitments that shape an authentic disciple. Through carefully selected studies from God's Word, you'll discover what it means to follow Jesus with purpose, perseverance, and wholehearted devotion.
