I Want to Follow Him

Following Jesus isn’t just believing something true. Following Jesus is walking in His steps, trusting His voice, and letting Him set the pace, path, and purpose for life. In the second installment of our baptism series "Are You Here to Say?," Terry explores what it really means to say, “I want to follow Him”—through highs and lows, distractions and detours, desire and discipline.

Series Information

Are You Here to Say?

A Baptism Series about Belonging, Following, and Enduring

Baptism isn’t just a ceremony. It’s a confession—one that speaks to who we are, who we follow, and how we live from this moment forward. In this series, we explore the heart of that confession through a simple but powerful phrase spoken by those entering the waters of baptism in our community:

“I belong to Jesus, and I want to follow Him—by His grace and with His help—all my days.”

Each message walks through a part of that confession:

  • “I Belong to Jesus” – The grace of being claimed by Christ.

  • “And I Want to Follow Him” – The call to walk in His ways.

  • “By His Grace and With His Help—All My Days” – A life of daily trust and perseverance.

Whether you’ve been baptized, are thinking about it, or simply want to better understand this ancient act of surrender and grace, this series invites you to reflect on your own story of faith. No matter where you are in that story—asking questions, standing strong, or finding your way back—you are welcome here.
