Introduction:

As we continue our fall worship series "Fan or Follower," it's time now to look at where we've been & where we're going ... as we finish up this study together this month...

As you might now expect, Jesus would put these folks into a position where they had to define their relationship with him! Was it casual or committed? There's the question he needed everyone to answer; and many were exposed to be nothing more than FANS--just enthusiastic admirers of Jesus at best...

It's not that FANS don't want a relationship with Jesus; it's that they want a relationship with him ... on their terms! But, we know by now that the real question we must ask is this: What kind of relationship does Jesus want us to have with him? That's what matters... What are his terms? What would he say it really means to follow him? That's the corner we're turning today--the direction we'll be headed in as we finish up "Fan or Follower" together...
