In this first message in the series entitled, "Following Jesus Out!" we begin to build the historic, theological, and biblical context for coming out from false Christianity. We are called out, and we are called to hear the voice of our good Shepherd and enjoy new intimacy with him, and a new depth of fellowship with each other as we await his return.

The acts of God include faith and good works in Christ alone.
