Teach others to live by everything Jesus said, trusting he stays with them

Teach only a few basic ideas and leave obedience for later

Keep the teaching to yourself and let discipleship happen naturally

Wait for clear signs of success before you begin to obey

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and I need your mercy. I turn from my sin and trust you to save me. I believe you died for me and rose again. Forgive me, make me new, and be my Lord. Teach me to obey you and stay with me every day. Amen.

Receive Jesus as Lord

Father, revive your Church to make disciples who obey everything Jesus commanded. Free us from shallow teaching, awaken us to faithful obedience, and help us trust that Christ is with us every day until the end of the age. Renew our courage and our love, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Your Church for Faithful Discipleship

Name one command of Jesus you have been neglecting. Ask God for grace to take it seriously today, and ask him to remind you that you do not obey alone because he is with you.

Pray About One Command

Bring these to God: gratitude for Jesus' steady presence, confidence when the way feels long, and willingness to keep learning his commands.

Thank God for His Daily Presence

Pray for new believers, teachers, and mentors to grow in patient obedience and confidence that Christ is with them.

Pray for Disciplers and New Believers

Father, thank you that you do not send your people out alone. Help me trust Jesus' presence when I feel weak, and give me grace to obey what he has commanded. Keep me faithful and steady until the end of the age, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Strength for the Long Road
