About the Series
September-November 2024
Jesus said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fish for people.” These simple words, spoken to a few ordinary people caught up in the day to day of their own lives, would ultimately launch a movement that would revolutionize the way humans interact with God. Step by step, as these original disciples followed after Jesus, they were changed, molded, and sent to carry the mission of Christ to this world. In the same way, Jesus now asks us to follow Him—in the way that He loves, standing on the truth that He demonstrated—so that we, too, may experience the life that He promises.
As we launch “A Year of Transformation,” we open our hands and our hearts to what God may have for us, both individually and collectively, as we step forward into the next page of His story for Bible Center.
This series kicks off with Vision Sunday on September 8.

From Series: "The Thread Between"
As followers of Jesus, we can look back on our lives and point to specific moments in which the Lord worked in our lives or in our church in unique—and even sometimes, miraculous—ways. Those moments are significant. They stand out in our memories, and they give us fuel to keep moving forward when things get difficult. The evidence of God’s work in our lives leads us to celebrate those moments and to even long for the next one, praying that God will continue to do unique things in our lives and in the life of our church. Many times, as we look at those high points, we miss the everyday, ongoing process of faithfully following Jesus. The practice of allowing Jesus to transform us through His Word, gathering with other Christians, and investing faithfully in His work can get lost as we search for the next big moment. But it’s that consistent, faithful approach—continually valuing the things Jesus sees as important—and the implementation of making those habits a part of our lives that brings the space and opportunity for God to do unique and special things through us. It’s the thread between the moments.
