Recap

1. Did you do anything to boldly represent Jesus Christ as a witness last week? If so, what?

Main Thought

Our individual lives, which include our faith, are journeys that have a destination. We can expect to encounter good, bad, and unknown situations along any long journey. The key to arriving at the right destination is to focus on the right direction. We do this by following Christ, and ignoring any distractions along the way. Following Jesus is like having GPS navigation. He sees the ultimate destination He has planned for us, and He knows how to get us there. We’ll discover purpose and perform good exploits when we walk with Christ and live to honor Him.
