Not a Fan - 6 weeks (starts Wed Oct 31 or Sun Nov 4)
Twenty times in the New Testament, Jesus issues this compelling and challenging invitation to Follow Him. He’s not interested in mere fans that sit in the stands and cheer Him on. He doesn’t want enthusiastic admirers who just write about Him, but never move to action. What He does want are Completely Committed Followers. This six-week study follows along with our sermon series during this time, and will help you to examine exactly what it means to deny one’s self and truly follow Jesus.
Materials Needed: Two books - cost around $20
