Authenticity not Attendance

BIG IDEA:
We mature as Jesus followers by having an authentic group of friends where we can be accountable and obey God's Word.
TEACHING POINTS:
  • Attendance is something, but it is not the most important thing.
  • We believe that being seen is more important than who is being seen.
  • Will God want me if He knows He saw the real?
  • God chooses the people who are really real.
  • God uses people who are real and not the people who are always right.
  • Authenticity is the beginning of growing in Jesus.
SCRIPTURE: John 21
