Becoming Like Jesus
Loving God takes place through three key areas:

1. Personal Bible Study-As we come to love and know Christ, it is important that we develop an ongoing relationship with Him by spending time with Him each day. Personal Bible study helps us know God's desire for our lives.

This time with God is seen in Jesus' life. He often would slip away from the disciples and the many crowds that were following Him. We know from glimpses that the Bible gives us of these times that Jesus spent time praying and growing in His relationship with God. Just as we spend time developing relationships, God desires to spend time with us.

Becoming Like Jesus is not simply the process of learning more about the Bible or spending time talking to God. It is about allowing these times to transform our lives by being obedient to God's Word.

2. Personal Prayer-God knows all there is to know about us. In fact, He knows more about us than we know about ourselves. That is why talking with God on a daily basis is so important. It allows our relationship to deepen as we tell Him our hurts, desires, concerns, and needs. Prayer should come from an honest and open heart.

3. Bible Fellowship Involvement- God encourages us to spend time with other people who are following Him. These small groups allow us to experience life together while encouraging each other to live out God's Word.
