Next Steps Week 1

Getting Started

You have made the greatest decision of your life!  By accepting God's free gift of salvation through Jesus, you are now on the road that leads to eternal life.  Jesus has bridged the gap between your old life without God and your new life with Him.  Romans 3:23 says, "…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…"  The Bible says that, "… the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."  Romans 5:8 states, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Today you stand in a right relationship with God.  You are not only saved from sin but also called into a great destiny and future in Him.

Now what?  It's time to get started!  One of the most important things you can do is to get "planted" or connected in a local church.  Psalm 92:13 states, "They that are planted in the house of the Lord will flourish…" Wave Church is a vibrant church full of dynamic, life-giving ministry.  Our desire is to see you flourish in life and your relationship with God.  We want to help you discover and live your God-given destiny.

You will also want to begin reading your Bible and talking to God daily.  If you do these three things:  pray (talk to God), read your Bible*, and build healthy Christian relationships (get planted); you will be amazed at how your new relationship with God will transform your life.  Life may still have challenges, but you will have a new strength to overcome those obstacles.

Prayer for Week 1

Lord Jesus, thank you for saving me and forgiving me of my sins. Help me to fully understand the life change You have begun in me. Help me as I begin to read Your word, as I get planted in Your local church, and help me to learn how to pray/talk to You. Help me to know You and to know who I am in You.

In Jesus Name,

Amen
