New 'Follow' Series

๐Ÿ‘ฃ Follow: A New Sermon Series at Emmanuel Faith

What does it really mean to follow Jesus?
Not just believe in Him โ€” but walk with Him daily, grow alongside others, and live on mission in every part of life.

Our new sermon series, Follow, is an invitation into a deeper journey of discipleship โ€” learning to follow Jesus in community and on mission. Itโ€™s rooted in Jesusโ€™ simple, life-changing call: โ€œFollow Me.โ€


๐Ÿ“– A Journey of Discipleship

At Emmanuel Faith, we define a disciple as someone who is following Jesus in community on mission. Thatโ€™s the heart behind this series โ€” not just gaining knowledge, but experiencing real transformation that shapes how we live, love, and relate to others.

This journey reflects the disciple DNA we hope to grow in every believer:

D โ€“ Daily time with God: creating space to be with Jesus.
N โ€“ Nurtured in community: growing alongside others.
A โ€“ Active on mission: joining Jesus in His work where we live, work, learn, and play.

Our prayer is that through this series you would encounter Jesus afresh, grow confident in your identity as His beloved, and experience lasting spiritual growth that overflows into every area of life. One of the best ways to live this out is by walking alongside others โ€” learning, praying, and growing together in community.

๐Ÿค Built for Community

This journey was never meant to be walked alone.

Discipleship isnโ€™t a solo project โ€” it flourishes in relationships. Whether through Connect Groups, friendships around the table, or conversations within our church family, we grow best when we walk together.

Youโ€™ll hear encouragement throughout this series to stay engaged, ask honest questions, and take intentional steps toward spiritual growth. The goal isnโ€™t perfection โ€” itโ€™s progress. God is already at work in you, and He invites you to participate in what Heโ€™s doing.


๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Make Room for God to Work

This series invites us into a slower, more intentional rhythm with Jesus โ€” one marked by daily time with Him, consistent community, and a willingness to respond when He calls us to grow.

As we follow Jesus together, we believe the Holy Spirit meets ordinary people who make simple, consistent room for Him. We pray that youโ€™ll experience fresh courage, renewed faith, and a deeper desire to reflect Christ in your homes, workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods.


๐ŸŽง Ready to Begin the Journey?

Whether youโ€™re new to church, new to faith, or have been following Jesus for years, this series is for you.
