The Jesus Creed series teaches how to live out Jesus' command to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself. When an expert in the law asked Jesus for the greatest commandment, Jesus responded with the Shema, the ancient Jewish creed that commands Israel to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength. But the next part of Jesus' answer would change the course of history. Jesus amended the Shema, giving his followers a new creed for life, the Jesus Creed: loving God with heart, soul, mind, and strength, but also loving others as themselves.
The gravity point of a life before God is that his followers are to love God and love others with everything they have. New Testament scholar Scot McKnight calls this "The Jesus Creed." In this video presentation for high school and college students, Scot presents the twelve key aspects of becoming a Jesus follower:
- The Jesus Creed
- Happiness is a GPS
- The More Jesus Expects
- Spiritual Branding
- The Lord's Prayer
- Forgiveness
- Learning to Be Wise
- Focused Following
- Who Is Jesus?
- Distraction vs. Devotion
- Respresenting Jesus
- Be a Boundary Breaker
This is essential spiritual formation for anyone between 16 and 22. It teaches young adults how to pray, concrete ways to know Jesus and how to love others. Buy it for your youth group or high school ministry.
