Experiencing Jesus—by Mark Baumhardt
February 2, 2025
Sermon recap:

There is a difference between knowing and experiencing Jesus (he is a person, not a doctrine). He is the lens of God's heart (through the battle lens, the journey in finding him, and the relational lens). We can't see the deep roots of Jesus's love but they are there. Knowledge comes from experieincing Jesus's love.
If you missed the lesson by Mark Baumhardt, one of the original members of the mission team to Johannesburg, then you can watch it on our YouTube channel. The recording is in two parts. This is the second one.

Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
