We invite you—hopefully alongside someone in community—to consider what life is like with Jesus.
Life with Jesus Guide
We can see in scripture that Jesus arranged his life around three rhythms: worship, community, and mission. We have identified six core discipleship commitments that we aspire to in our journey as disciples of Jesus. These core commitments give clarity to the rhythms and are supported by the practices. The staff of Greenwood developed this resource to help you discern your next step with these commitments and practices called, “The Life with Jesus Guide: Discerning Your Next Step.”

The Life with Jesus Guide
The “Life with Jesus Guide: Discerning Your Next Step” can be used in your small group or with another friend in the church. It has devotions, reflection questions, and group questions. We are desiring that this guide will serve our church as a clear expression of our understanding of what it means to live as a disciple of Jesus together.
This guide is not intended to be a heavy burden on you of “one more thing to do.” Rather, we hope it acts simply as a discernment tool that frees you to say “no” to a variety of choices you have, and “yes” to the “next step” Jesus is calling you into with himself. We offer this Life with Jesus Guide as a resource into the “unforced rhythms of grace” that are the easy yoke of living with Jesus.
Printed copies of this guide are available on Sundays at the Welcome Center.
The complete Life with Jesus Guide is also available in Greenwood’s App, available on Google Play and Apple App stores.

The Invitations of Jesus
Have you ever wondered if there is more to life? Does your heart ever ache for more than seems offered in a culture obsessed with self? Could there be more meaning, more joy, more love, more peace, more kindness, more healing, more hope? We believe there is more. We believe there is so much more to life because Jesus offers us more – a quality of life beyond the ordinary. The very best life there is – the life God created us to live. Jesus offers us LIFE with Him in God’s beautiful Kingdom (John 10:10). We desire for you to experience LIFE with Jesus, because there’s more!

The Practices of Jesus
Jesus displayed a matchless beauty of character. He possessed unparalleled powers of faith, hope, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control—all in harmony with the Holy Spirit. He did this in part by living life a certain way. His lifestyle included practices that connected Him deeply to His Father through worship, to the family of God through community, and to God’s purposes on earth through mission. And He invites us to “follow Him,” to adopt His practices, so that He can shape more of His LIFE and character in us across our lifetime.
