[Thank you to Life Church for making this resource available for all]
Congratulations! You’ve made it to the end of week one. We’re so proud of you for taking intentional steps to grow in your faith.
Deciding to follow Jesus is a big decision, and it’s probably stirred up some new ideas, questions, and perhaps doubts. That’s okay. Remember, following Jesus is a lifelong journey, so we don’t need to have all the mysteries of faith figured out after one week.
With all of that in mind—how are you doing?
Consider some two or three words or phrases to describe how you feel about your faith journey. Maybe you feel excited and expectant, or you might feel a little uncertain. You might not even be able to describe exactly how you’re feeling.
Don’t worry about having a “right” answer. Your honest answer is the best answer.
You don’t need to share these words with anyone; this is simply a chance for you to reflect.

So far, we’ve seen that God loves us, forgives us, and provides us with a purpose—to become more like Jesus every day. We’ve also seen that He wants to have a close relationship with us, so He’s provided us with ways to relate to Him.
We’ve only scratched the surface of all there is to know about following Jesus, and we’re excited to continue this journey together.
As we conclude week one and get ready for week two, think about and write down a question or two you might have about God, faith, or the Bible. Then, share your question with a pastor or trusted friend sometime this week.
Read the verse below and think about it for a minute or two before talking with God about what you wrote above.
… he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 NIV
