Redeemed to Change | How to Follow Jesus, Week 4
Texts: Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:16–25

A lot of people want to change, but still feel stuck.

In Week 4 of How to Follow Jesus, Pastor Kevin opens Romans 12 and shows that the gospel offers something deeper than self-improvement. Jesus does not only forgive you. He changes you. Christian transformation does not grow out of shame, pressure, or pretending. It grows out of mercy.

This message explores what it means to be remade by grace, to stop hiding what needs to come into the light, and to walk honestly with God in the real struggle of change. It also shows how repentance, surrender, and holy rhythms become places where grace does its work in us.

If you have ever felt tired of old patterns, frustrated by slow growth, or tempted to settle for appearances, this message is a clear reminder that redemption does not only forgive you—it begins to remake you.

Redeemed to Serve | How to Follow Jesus, Week 3
Texts: 1 Peter 2:9–10; Acts 1:8; Matthew 5:14–16

A lot of people understand that Jesus saves us from something. He saves us from sin, shame, darkness, and death. But the gospel also tells us what we are saved for.

In Week 3 of How to Follow Jesus, Pastor Deborah opens 1 Peter 2 and shows that redeemed people are not called into passivity. They are called into purpose. In Christ, ordinary believers are made part of a royal priesthood, filled with the Spirit, and sent into the world as witnesses.

This message makes clear that serving is more than volunteering or filling a role. It is one of the ways the church makes Jesus visible. The redeemed are not just forgiven and seated. They are forgiven and sent.

If you have ever treated church as something to consume instead of a mission to join, this message is a strong and practical invitation to step off the sidelines and offer your life to God’s purpose.

Redeemed to Belong | How to Follow Jesus, Week 2
Texts: Ephesians 2:13–22; Acts 2:42–46

A lot of people know how to attend church without ever really belonging.

In Week 2 of How to Follow Jesus, Pastor Kevin teaches from Ephesians 2 and shows that when Jesus brings you near to God, He does not leave you alone. He brings you into a people. He brings you into a household. He brings you into a family.

This message unpacks the truth that following Jesus is deeply personal, but it is never private. In Christ, strangers become family, outsiders are brought near, and the church becomes more than a place you visit—it becomes a people you belong to.

If you have ever felt like you were in the room but still on the outside, this message is an invitation to stop hovering at the edge and step into the shared life Jesus died to create.
