Action Step
Think of someone who is not yet on the narrow road of following Jesus. Take some time this week to pray for them, that they would become a follower of Jesus.
Maybe you are in a group but not yet a follower of Jesus. If you realize this is you, please reach out to us at Knowing Jesus | The Chapel.
