Renewal is defined as resuming an activity or state after an interruption, or extending the validity of something, or repairing or updating something in disrepair.

Follow me is the basis of a CALL to discipleship.

Calling is a promise(s) wrapped in a request.

Following is the request.

Following entails leaving where we are and what we know in order to be close to Jesus. That means we naturally give up control and take up a willingness to change. No wonder that Jesus said that the way to life is a narrow road.

Wesleyan Renewal Service - Jesus will be Lord of all or Lord of none.

Promise(s) of following:
1. If we follow, we are offered the promise of a relationship.
2. If we follow, we are promised to be “made”. (We will get to that next week!)

Our ultimate goal is not so much to accomplish great things as to be women and men who know, love and serve Jesus. Our final concern is not career or ministry or reputation, but whether through the course of our lives we grow in the saving grace of Christ. [Courage and Calling by Gordon T. Smith]
