So many times Jesus talks about the importance of spending time and just being with Him. Before he invites us to do things for Him, through Him, in His name, he invites us into a relationship. Our relationship with Him will determine how effective we are at actually doin the things he asks. This January, we’re going to explore what resting into that relationship can look like each day.
Red Letter Challenge Resources
Personal Assessment
Red Letter Challenge (RLC) was never intended to be a book that lasted just 40 days, but it was written with the intent to challenge and help you in your pursuit to follow Jesus. So RLC did an extensive study of everything that Jesus commanded us and located five key principles or targets that Jesus invites His followers into. We believe that when you are growing in these five areas you are becoming a closer follower of Jesus!

Jesus is all about ‘dat grace. So many of us struggle with receiving God’s forgiveness, forgiving ourselves, or forgiving others. To truly represent Jesus in this world, we have a great understand of God’s grace in our lives and extend that grace to others. Our doing flows out of who we are and who we become when we spend time with Christ.
After spending time being with Him, and receiving His forgiveness, now we are so motivated. After all that He’s done for me, I want to serve Him. I want to get out into the community, help those in need, love my neighbors, etc.
Jesus talked about the Kingdom of heaven more than anything else. A close second was money. I’ve found through the words of Jesus it’s impossible to be a stingy Christian. Jesus followers are generous.
It’s no coincidence that many of Jesus’ last words in each of the Gospels and even the last command He says in the book of Acts centers on the fact that we as Jesus followers must not just be His hands and feet in the community, but also His mouthpiece. We are to go out there and tell the Good News that this same Jesus that has died on the cross for my sins and forgiven what I’ve done has done the same for everyone.
