Product Overview
Follow Jesus
Following Jesus is something all of us are called to do every day of our lives. Following Jesus is an invitation to discipleship, an ongoing practice that we accept again and again. This unit studies mostly New Testament passages from the Bible, asking what it means when we choose to follow Jesus with every decision we make. Learn how following Jesus translates to loving God and neighbor and bearing witness to God’s love and justice in our everyday world. Let this practice become the lens through which you see the world as you explore this unit, Follow Jesus.
