Foundation for Living Jeremy Peters

Two Stories Everyone builds a ________________________

July 1, 2018 “I need to make the offer of Christianity clear: There is a way to be good again. The hope of Christianity is that we get to live life like Jesus. That beautiful goodness can be ours. He can heal what has gone wrong deep inside each of us… We get to live his life—that is, live each day by the power of his life within us. That’s the hope: you get to live that life!” John Eldredge

Everyone faces a _________________________

What does it mean to be an Apprentice of Jesus? The variable is: which ____________________________ will you choose?

Matthew 7:24-27 NIV “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Information to Action Ratio

Apprenticeship Prayer Partner Question: As you consider your apprenticeship walk with Jesus, make a list of the ways in which you have experienced the ‘cost of discipleship.’ In other words, what has it cost you to actively live as an apprentice of Jesus? Then make a list of the cost to you if you ignore the teachings of Jesus. What does it cost you if you don’t arrange your life around learning to listen to, trust and obey Jesus? Discuss with your APP and pray for each other that the vision of Jesus and his Kingdom Life would shape every decision, becoming the bedrock upon which you build your life.
