The Way of Jesus is an international house church movement dedicated to restoring authentic Christianity by fostering deep, personal relationships with Christ and one another. Emerging from a desire for genuine community and spiritual growth, this movement emphasizes the importance of small, intimate gatherings where believers can share their lives, study scripture, discuss sermons, and engage in prayer and worship in a non-institutional setting. By prioritizing discipleship and service over traditional church structures, The Way of Jesus seeks to empower individuals to live out their faith in everyday life, encouraging them to embody the teachings of Jesus in practical ways. With a focus on inclusivity and diversity, this movement transcends cultural and geographical boundaries, uniting Christians from various backgrounds in a shared mission to reflect Christ’s love and grace in their communities. Through its grassroots approach, The Way of Jesus aims to cultivate a vibrant expression of faith that resonates with the heart of the Gospel while addressing contemporary challenges faced by believers today.To reclaim authentic Christianity, we must return to the gospels-the primary source of Jesus’ life and teachings. The gospels provide a blueprint for understanding who Jesus is and what He calls us to be as His followers. They challenge us to confront our assumptions about faith and compel us to align our lives with the radical love, grace, and truth that Jesus embodied.In this pursuit of authenticity, it is essential for Christians to revisit the fundamental teachings of Jesus. These teachings serve as guiding principles that can lead us back to a faith that reflects His character and mission. This brief treatise contains 20 fundamental teachings of Jesus that authentic Christians must strive to follow.
