Welcome! We are excited that you are taking the “Next Steps” in your faith journey. We have seven short videos with action steps for each, designed to deepen your understanding of and faith in Jesus. There’s no “right order” to follow as you watch the videos and carry out the action steps. We encourage you to watch them more than once, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak directly into your life. Remember, the key to creating lasting life change is to implement the action steps!

The YouVersion app has “The 40-Day New Testament Challenge.” It’s a great place to begin!

Begin by reading the book of Ephesians and see how God transforms your life.
Meet with a few friends to talk about what God is teaching you from his word.
You can even share your biblical questions and insights with others via a text message.
MENTORING
Action Steps:
Identify an area of your life you would like to grow in.
Identify and reach out to one of the following mentoring relationships.
Who will be a Paul for you?
Invite a wise person for coffee or a meal and share what/why you would like to learn from them.
Who will be a Barnabas to share life with?
Go have fun with a friend who loves Jesus and who you like to hang out with.
Who will be a Timothy to pour into?
Invite someone to coffee or a meal and cast a vision for how you can speak into their life.
Identify who in your life is your group of 12, your group of 3, and your 1.
Make an intentional action step toward someone in these groups this week.
EVANGELISM
Action Steps:
Make a prayer list of 3-5 people you encounter weekly who don’t know Jesus.
Pray for them daily.
Ask others to pray for them with you
Live your faith! Does your life reflect Jesus?
Invite a “not yet Christian” friend for coffee, a meal, to Canvas or on a hike.
Begin telling your story both with your actions and your words.
GENEROSITY
Action Steps:
This week, take inventory of your time, talents, and tithe. Are you personally living out what God asks of us in these areas? Are you giving generously and cheerfully, or are you doing it out of obligation?
Sign up to serve! Leverage the gifts and talents God has given you to advance His kingdom.
Take a step of faith and start tithing this week. Just start. God even says to test Him in this because “He will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in!” Sign me up for that!
