#SOAP #public ## Title: Follow the Leader ## Scripture: (John 12:26) “If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow me, and where I am, my servant will be too. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.” (NET) ## Observation: I think many people forget that Christianity is not just about asking Jesus to save us. That is the beginning. The next step is that we begin to follow our leader. That is where the adventures happen. As we follow the Lord, He opens doors, works miracles, and shows us that even our ordinary faithfulness is for extraordinary reasons. This is why I am so sad when people say that they are “bored” serving God. It makes me wonder if they are truly following their leader. True Christianity is anything but boring. It’s hard, painful, joyful, exciting… just not boring.  ## Application: Follow the Leader in everything and consider every day an adventure.  ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us through every season of life.
