Weekly Rundown (9.12.2010)

• Really pumped and excited to kick-off FOLLOW ME today!!  I think this series has been "brewing" inside of me for quiet some time as I myself have wrestled with several things that are pretty clear for us in God's Word.
  
  
  
  • Today's two big questions:  Who is Jesus? How do I follow Him?
  
  
  • These questions will guide us through the rest of this series.
  
  
  • Our "endzone" or where we want to be at the end: Matthew 28:19-20
