What does it mean to be a Nothing But Jesus person?
What does it look like practically?
How does it change your life, my life by committing to being in a church like ours that claims to be about Nothing But Jesus?
To be a Nothing But Jesus person, you need to be all-in when it comes to embracing the grace of God found in Jesus.
And what does that grace require of you?
This may sound alarming and you may not hear a preacher say this often…but the grace of God given to us through Christ Jesus requires nothing of us.
It is a free gift.
Grace isn’t cheap, grace is free.
We sang it last week…Jesus paid it all.
Jesus did pay some of it…Jesus paid all of it.
Jesus said on the cross It is Finished.
So what is required of you?
Nothing is required.
I always know when a preacher or a Christian doesn’t really get grace when they say grace is a free gift, BUT, you have to get to work.
Or grace is a free gift, but it requires you to do x, y and z.
When we are truly gripped by grace, when we truly understand the price that has been paid for us, when we truly believe that It is Finished…when we truly grasp that there is nothing required of us…we will then begin to ask the question, since Jesus paid it all and since Jesus doesn’t require anything of us in exchange for that free gift, what will I do with the rest of my life to serve him.
Big difference between that statement and grace/but statements.
Huge difference.
In one, we are compelled and moved and motivated to live our lives for Jesus out of love and gratitude and in the other we are guilted in to measuring up and doing good works.
Huge difference.
When we say, Jesus died for me, Jesus paid it all,
Mentoring best happens in small groups.
The reason for this is because The Apostle Paul writes this letter to his protegee Timothy.
Timothy is a younger man in the ministry and Paul is his mentor.
Who are you mentoring?
Who would point to you and say that guy that girl is my mentor?
First, what do we mean when we say that someone is a mentor.
What does that word even mean?
Sharing your story, strugglesMentoring is pouring yourself into another person—sharing your story with them, sharing your struggles…a mentoree asks questions about life and the mentor shares experiences they have had and shares mistakes they have made and saves the mentoree from making the same mistakes.
A mentor believes in the person they are mentoring.
They don’t see them for what they are today but for what they will be in the future.
A mentoring relationship is intentional and defined.
The mentor knows they are the mentor and the mentoree knows they are the one being mentored.
There isn’t guess work in the relationship about who the mentor is.
A mentor seeks out those to mentor.
Like Jesus selected his 12 disciples, a mentor goes out and seeks out his mentorees….he
or she lays hands on them and says I want to mentor you, I want to help you grow, I want to pour myself into you.
A mentor meets regularly with the mentoree over coffee over lunch, a mentor isn’t the emergency guy that you call when the world is falling apart, a mentor is one who is in the regular week to week grind with you.
Everyone Needs a Mentor, but Everyone Needs to be a Mentor as well.
Usually the mentor is older than the mentoree, but not always.
A young person may mentor an older person.
But usually the mentor is older.
Again, who are you mentoring?
Who is your protegee?
A mentor is one who shares their story, their honest struggles, their experiences with another.
A mentoree asks questions about life and the mentor answers them based on what has worked and what hasn’t in their life.
A mentor believes in their mentoree.
They don’t see them for what they are today, but what they will be in the future.

Who is your protegee?
My Dad is the founding pastor of this church and is my greatest mentor.
But even with having a mentor like my Dad I STILL needed other mentors in my life.
If I needed mentors in my life and I had my Dad as a mentor, that means we all need mentors in addition to our parents.
There were men along the way who grabbed hold of me and said, I want to meet with you regularly and speak into your life.
I want to share my story with you so you can learn from my triumphs and failures.
I remember one of my mentors telling me that he regretted how absent he was as a father to his daughters.
He said that his daughters became adults in a blink of an eye.
He told me that when my little girls were little girls.
And he did a great job with his kids, but he still said he didn’t spend enough time with them.
That made a difference in my life.
That honesty, that raw truth helped me and changed my life.
I had another mentor who shared that he didn’t really get the gospel until he was 60 years old.
This was an elder, a leader in the church, and he said I didn’t really get Jesus until just a few years ago.
Preach Jesus.
Live Jesus.
Be about nothing but Jesus.
Those honest vulnerable words had an impact.
