Fully Devoted Follower

At First Baptist Owasso we are leading people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Every ministry of the church is wrapped around this one idea. Within these ministries you will discover opportunities to build lasting friendships as you learn from God’s Word and experience Him in worship. There are opportunities to learn, serve, lead and grow. Some are for everyone. Some are just for you.

What Does It Mean to Be A Fully Devoted Follower?

Being a fully devoted follower of Christ doesn’t mean you’re perfect. But a fully devoted follower is easy to identify. You can think of it like this:

Healthy Appetite + Healthy Activity + Healthy Choices = Fully Devoted Follower of Christ

Healthy Appetite

For a fully devoted follower of Christ a healthy appetite means you have a hunger for God’s Word and prayer. There is within you a constant desire for spiritual things and the classic spiritual disciplines of the faith. Someone with a healthy appetite will learn to feed themselves through personal Bible Study and devotionals. Prayer won’t be the emergency phone call in times of crisis, but will be a pattern for every day life. A healthy appetite for spiritual things doesn’t mean you’ll be perfect. But it does mean you will, on your own, be growing closer to God each day.

Healthy Activity

For a fully devoted follower of Christ healthy activity is church involvement. There are literally hundreds of ways you can be involved at First Baptist Owasso. Every growing Believer should connect with the church in at least three unique ways:

• Small group Bible study – this is Sunday School, a place to build lasting friendships as you study the Word of God together.
• Worship Services – Every Sunday the people of First Owasso come together for worship. Dynamic music, drama and video combine with the relevant, life changing messages of Dr. Roger Ferguson to bring all the people of First Owasso together in worship.
• Individual Connection – Whether you need help with parenting or finances, whether you like to sing or serve with children we believe everyone should have some kind of individual connection with the church. For some people this will mean deepening their walk through a Disciple University Class. For others it means volunteering or leading within one of our ministries. Whatever your stage of spiritual development you will find a place for an individual connection at First Baptist.

Healthy Choices

For a fully devoted follower of Christ healthy choices are choices that reflect obedience to God’s Word. The things you do to feed your healthy appetite, the opportunities you take for healthy activity, these will help you make healthy choices as you grow in Christ. None of us are perfect, but as we grow in Christ we should eventually learn to avoid those things that trip us up and pursue those things that bring glory to God --- that’s what making healthy choices is all about.
