“JESUS PEOPLE”
We’re all entering 2021 with big hopes and dreams - new cars, new jobs, maybe even new children! Could these be small in comparison to the hopes and dreams God has for us? What if, in the midst of the uncertainty and opportunity this year brings, God wants us to not just accumulate more or relax more but to become more?
What would 2021 be like if we became known as “Jesus People”? Join us this Sunday as we finish studying Jesus’ conversation with His people scattered throughout the ancient world. By learning from their failures and their victories, we will seek to become “Jesus People.”

“Jesus People” WEEK 8 (final)
KEY PASSAGE: Revelation 3:14-22 NIV
To the Church in Laodicea
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
