Too often we have made our faith about preparing for death rather than learning to live like Christ. What if following Jesus has more to do with here and now than it does with what happens after we have breathed our last breath?  It seems like Jesus and the writers of scripture had far more to say about the realities of the present than happenings of the future.  Throughout this series, we will explore what the New Testament tells us about how we can live today in a way that honors God, makes a difference in our world, and helps those around us see Him and experience His dream for their lives.
