The Four-Fold Disciple

A Tuesday Night Lesson on the Book of Hebrews, 3:1-6What does God want you to do with your life?

But being able to make these decisions doesn't give us what our calling or destiny is supposed to be.From the beginning of Hebrews 3, Christian Barrett teaches young adults that Christians share a heavenly calling, and that we are urged to "consider Jesus." By considering Jesus, we can live in light of our calling and destiny, which is to know and be known by God and to spend eternity with Him.In this video, Christian shares some practical ways for someone to consider Jesus, which begins with asking God to help you live for Him.Do you consider Jesus?Want more discipleship resources?
