Followers of Jesus should look a certain way, with Christ at the center and everything else on the fringe.

Talking Points:

  • Followers of Jesus should look a certain way, with Christ at the center and everything else on the fringe. This concept is all over the Bible and especially evident in the teachings of Jesus. Matthew 6:33
  • Christ at the center is the only way to live as a follower of Jesus. Anything else is getting it out of order and is destructive for our lives.
