"Come and Follow Me" - Part 5 - (2-8-25 AM)

COME AND FOLLOW ME – PART 5 (CONCLUSION) Steve Porter Following In His Steps | 1 Peter 2:21 This message brings the Come and Follow Me series to its powerful conclusion. In this final installment, we hear Jesus’ invitation not to follow Him from a distance, not merely to admire Him—but to walk beside Him, step by step, in intimate relationship. Our key scripture for 2026 is clear and commissioning: “To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.” —1 Peter 2:21 Over the past five weeks, we’ve walked this sacred journey together: • Hearing the call to follow Jesus, not just admire Him • Making Jesus not only Savior, but Lord • Choosing “no turning back,” even when the road is hard • Learning to recognize divine interruptions and holy redirections • And now—embracing the call to follow in His steps This message centers on the sufferings of Christ, the example He left us, and what it truly means to imitate Him in real life—through forgiveness, compassion, humility, obedience, and love for the one. Jesus didn’t leave us only teachings. He left footsteps. His steps moved toward the broken. Toward the overlooked. Toward the wounded and forgotten. And in 2026, we believe the Lord is calling us to do the same. This message is also a pastoral vision for the year ahead at Refuge: • Discipleship over busyness • Presence over performance • Relationship over religion • Christ formed in us If you’ve been hurt, weary, disappointed, or tempted to pull back—this message is an invitation to be healed, restored, and to walk forward again with Jesus. You are not walking behind Him. You are walking with Him. 📖 Scripture Focus: 1 Peter 2:21 📅 Series: Come and Follow Me (Part 5 – Conclusion) 📍 Refuge Ministries | 2026 Vision Message If this message blesses you, consider sharing it with someone who needs encouragement.
