The beginning God meets you here:

Key: This is between you and Jesus, heart-to-heart

Ephesians 2:1-2


And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world.


The truth that makes us one.

  1. I am dead in my trespasses and sins.

  2. Jesus is God.

  3. Born of a virgin.

  4. Jesus lived a righteous life.

  5. Jesus died on the cross.

  6. Jesus rose from the dead on the 3rd day.

  7. Jesus invites each of us to be forgiven and into a new life.


The heart is surrendered to God!


Ephesians 2:4-5


But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)


Ephesians 2:8-9


For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Blocks from Path


1 Peter 2:1-3

Toolbox:


Key: (Path)

Jesus’ perspective or mine?

Jesus’s desire or mine?

Jesus’ decisions or mine?

Jesus is the boss, or am I?

Give my hurts, hang-ups, and habits to Jesus, or hide them.

Am I going to talk, do marriage, parent, listen to music, drink, smoke, hang out with the same people, clubs, goals, social media, dress, measure success the same way, or learn to trade in my way for Jesus’ way?
