Knowing what Jesus taught isn't the same as actually living it. In week three of our Closer to God series, we explore what it means to move beyond simply being informed by Jesus and allow His teachings to transform the way we think, live, and relate to others.

Following Jesus isn't about behavior modification or earning God's approval. It's about trusting Jesus enough to put His words into practice, and learning to do that alongside His people. Because faith is personal, but it was never meant to be private.

Questions for Reflection:
• Are you simply being informed by Jesus, or are you allowing Him to transform the way you live?
• What is one teaching of Jesus you sense Him inviting you to put into practice more intentionally?
