I GAVE MY LIFE TO JESUS! NOW WHAT?
If you gave your life to Jesus at an event or on a live stream, PLEASE KNOW that there is no agenda here other than seeing you come fully alive in JESUS! I am praying for you and cheering you on! You will never look back and regret it! The question is… what now? Well I am just one guy, but if you have any questions feel free to send an email to stephen@smworship.com and I will do my best to respond.
SPENDING TIME WITH JESUS IN THE BIBLE
If you’ve never read the Bible, it might be overwhelming, trying to know where to start. There are so many great resources out there today!
if you need a Bible you can read it on your phone on the meantime using the FREE YouVersion Bible App (search any mobile App Store) Also, I would start with an easy to understand translation like the NLT.
I would start with the Gospel of John. As you read ask Jesus to help you understand what He wants you to know about Him.
SPENDING TIME WITH JESUS IN PRAYER
You are made to talk to Jesus! He is always with you and sees and cares about every aspect of your life! If you never prayed before, here is a good place to start!
“Jesus, I want to really know you and love you more than I do right now! Place in me a desire to want to talk with you for the rest of eternity, in Your name I pray, amen.”
FINDING A GOOD CHURCH
First, there is no perfect church because people are not perfect, but God really does want you around people that love Him and you, and will cheer you on, and that could be a house church as well! Also, PRAY and ask the Lord to lead you to the right place, and as you look here are some questions to ask:
1. Do they believe Jesus is the only way, died for your sins, and rose again from the grave?
2. Do they teach the Bible?
3. Do they obviously love Jesus and people?
4. Do they show grace to others more than judgement?
5. Do they really worship Jesus, rather than perform?
6. Do they perform water baptism?
7. Do they have groups where you can be in fellowship with other believers outside of a weekend service?
