How To Follow Jesus (Week 3) Pastor Deborah Taylor

Redeemed to Serve | How to Follow Jesus, Week 3 Texts: 1 Peter 2:9–10; Acts 1:8; Matthew 5:14–16A 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. Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 1:00 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextstepsFollow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch
