Reflections of a Jesus-follower by Pastor Esther
We are called to be followers of Jesus not spectators, not admirers or even mere believers. We engage in the way of Christ with one another. The New Testament mentions Christians 3 times. It mentions disciples over 260 times.

One More isn’t simply teaching people about Jesus so they intellectually learn or convert to Christianity and that’s it. The idea of One More is about showing up for someone (in relationship) and praying they encounter Jesus in a manner that turns into a lifelong apprenticeship to him. We can’t invest in everyone, we can invest in one more person. 3G Faith is a tool to help with your One More. Check it out here: 3gfaith.org. Want to connect with someone?

A better understanding of Bible translation can help us in our own Bible study, and it can also help us correct misinformation that is so prevalent today. If you’d like to join me in a journey of studying Hermeneutics, I invite you to check out this 12-minute video I’ve put together as part of my series: Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics (Bible interpretation). This is Session #3: Why so many translations? And which is best? The Lord’s blessing on you today! -Pastor Steve |
