John 1:19

Every spiritual leader—whether a pastor or mentor holds a sacred title: "The Friend of the Bridegroom." Drawing from the life of John the Baptist and the writings of Paul, this 3-day plan explores the heart of the "Divine Matchmaker." You will discover that true ministry is not about gathering a crowd for yourself, but about facilitating a love story between the believer (the Bride) and Jesus (the Bridegroom). Learn how to find joy in "decreasing" so that Christ may increase, and understand the profound reward that comes to those who prioritize the Groom’s intimacy over their own influence.

We all have those people that we “know of”. We can’t claim to know them on a personal level, but we have enough information to know who they are. In Plan 2 of 19, we hear John the Baptist’s testimony of Jesus. He didn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus but when Jesus was revealed to him, he went from “knowing of” Jesus to being known! Do you know Jesus? More importantly, are you known by Him?

John the Baptist told people that the Messiah, Jesus, was coming. He told them to be ready! The same message is true for us today. Jesus will come again, and we too need to be ready.

Embark on a journey to learn more about the life of Jesus. Together we will watch short clips from the film, The Life of Jesus, and reflect on what we see. Discover who Jesus really was and what He can mean to you. You can read each of the 10 plans separately, but we challenge you to complete the whole journey.
