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.

Adult Leader's Guide
This leader’s guide uses the Adult Reflection Guide to lead a small group study on the practice. This guide contains a summary of the practice and the four (or six) sessions, background information on the Bible study for the session, and any preparation the leader may need to do ahead of the session. There are different options of activities and discussions to choose from throughout the session. Participants are asked to read through the Adult Reflection Guide, if possible, before each session. There are other great resources for adults in the Congregational Guide.

Featured in the Adult Leader’s Guide:

• Accept Jesus’ Invitation (John 1:6–9, 19–36; 1:35–51)
• Follow Jesus in Community (John 15:1–11; Acts 2:42–47; Ephesians 4:1–16)
• See through the Lens of Love (Deuteronomy 6:4–9; Mark 12:28–34)
• Teach Others to Follow Jesus (Matthew 3:13–17; 28:16–20)

In addition to the material in the Adult Leader’s Guide and the Adult Reflection Guide, there are also free videos that leaders can use as conversation starters for the unit and each session. Visit our YouTube Channel, bit.ly/FMYouTubeGFR, to see the playlist for this unit.
