Paying attention to details seems like an exercise for the overly-concerned. However, it is a necessary skill for the follower of Jesus. Effective servants pay attention to Jesus. Luke draws attention to effective service in this short account of two sisters.

We begin our mission conference today with special speaker, Dr. Jeff Newman. Dr. Newman, a missionary with Baptist Mid-Missions, discusses the balance between worship, doubt, and following Jesus. You can worship, doubt, and follow Jesus at the same time. Jesus tells you how to follow Him even when you doubt.

In order to see what others cannot, you need a special set of lenses. We call these lenses “following Jesus” because following Jesus changes your view of everything. Luke’s Good News affects how you view the world around you.

Luke shows Jesus as a real person by demonstrating how He handles the conflicts of life. When Jesus orients my priorities I can live with God as my top priority. Jesus shows this by how He handles observing the Sabbath.

As Jesus begins His earthly ministry, notice how He responds to temptation. It all comes down to a matter of trust; and God is worthy of trust.

We hear the first recorded words from Jesus’ mouth and discover exactly what Jesus learned in His childhood. Jesus makes wise choices. Our passage highlights at least three choices Jesus made.

Our mission conference begins today with Ben Stilwell preaching from John 4 about true worshipers. Ben identifies four characteristics of true worshippers. Examine your life to see if you truly worship today.

What a joy to know God not only knows everything, He remembers it, too! Today’s passage celebrates the fact God remembers what He has said and that God keeps His promises. Notice how God keeps His promises to others and how God keeps His promises to groups of people.

We celebrate many occasions and accomplishments. God’s greatness deserves celebration. Today we discover three ways to celebrate God’s great character.

When we pursue God’s heart, we rely on the truth that He is always the same no matter our circumstances. We learn that times change, but God does not.
