I’m In Week 1 — Following God starts with knowing your need. Have you ever felt far away from God? Maybe you’ve been a part of church your entire life, but now, when you’re singing songs, reading your Bible, or listening to your pastor talk about God, you don’t feel anything. Or maybe you’ve never really felt close to God at all and find yourself wondering how everyone else seems to have figured it out. No matter where you’re coming from, it’s hard to feel in with God when we feel far from Him. But the good news is that we’re never as far from Him as we think we are. In fact, the Bible gives us story after story of some of God’s most faithful followers who at one time or another seemed to be far away— on the outside wanting to get in. This week we’ll look at one of those people in particular and how drawing close to God and choosing to be in changed her life forever. And as we do, we’ll learn that the first step to drawing closer to God— to saying we’re all in with Him—is simply acknowledging how much we need Him.
