“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17
Message Recap
Jesus didn’t come to start a religion. He came for a different reason…relationship. He came to lead us into a growing relationship with God. Ultimately, so that he can transform us into everything God created us to be. And that happens by us taking one next step at a time.
Main Point
Our relationship with God grows by following Jesus one next step at a time.
