Introduction.

The Theme for this years VBS was “Tell Me the Story of Jesus.”
B.
I would like to follow up on that theme…”More About Jesus.”
C.
As we begin this series of studies, ask yourself these questions...
Do you have problems, confused, lost?
D.
If you do, you are not alone...Job
14;1,2
Man who
is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble….”
Job's words,
spoken nearly four thousands years ago, express the feeling of
millions today
E.
However, there is a way out: Jesus Christ...! "I am the way,
the truth, and the life..." Jn.
14:6
I. More About Jesus:

A. Jesus:
"...I
have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly." – Jn.

in Heaven, Who cares for His children – Matt.6:31-33
B. The
happiest people in the world are those who truly commit themselves to
following Jesus….no matter what!

by the thousands of different churches/doctrines who profess to be
His church.

by the Lord

I hope that I have sparked your interest in wanting to learn “More
About Jesus.”
B.
My purpose in this series is twofold...
1.
For those who are Christians: To increase their appreciation of Jesus
as their Lord and Savior…to serve!
2.
For those who are not Christians: To encourage them to let Jesus be
their way to everything that is truly good
3.
Both in this life and in the life to come..Offer Invitation.
