Once you become a Christian, what happens next? When Jesus called His disciples, He had one very simple request: “Follow me.” But although the phrase is simple, living it out doesn't always seem so easy.

Jill Briscoe looks at how five disciples came to Christ and started to passionately follow Him. She'll explain how following Jesus is a way of purpose, fulfillment, and endless adventure. It's better than any life you could dream up on your own. 

The world says status, wealth, and acceptance are ingredients to the good life. So we aspire to be the best—placing others in the pecking order as we go. But what does Jesus think about this?

Greatness in God's Kingdom looks a lot different than greatness in the world. For those who have said "yes" to Jesus, there is only one classified group: God's children. The indwelling Christ gives us eyes to see others by His standard of greatness.

Do we trust that Jesus will provide for our every need? Our attitude is often: We want it, we want it now, and we'd do anything for it. This voice of our culture builds impatience in our hearts. Jesus grew impatient, too, but only when His disciples attempted to do things that could only be done in Him.

Pete encourages us to break our "working for God" mindset. When we attempt to do things for God, Jesus gets impatient. But when we allow Jesus to work through us, the Father is glorified. Will we live on our own to glorify ourselves, or live in Christ to glorify God?

Has Jesus ever prompted you to do something far beyond your abilities, and you find yourself thinking, "I just can't do this?" It leaves us feeling inadequate. However, we should never apply the worldly principle of inadequacy to Kingdom promptings!

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus often asked the disciples to do things they were completely incapable of doing without Him. He wants to do the same in us. Christ is capable of doing in us what we could never do on our own.

Before we knew Jesus, we were living among the dead, but after Jesus gets a hold of us, we are alive, and our life is transformed anew! But what will Jesus do with our new life?

We may expect an extravagant calling—maybe to an unreached village abroad or to the alleys of an inner city. However, Jesus calls us to a place that may surprise us. What will Jesus do in us as we take Jesus to our most personal mission field?

We tend to believe the lie that the worse your sin is, the less eligible for redemption you are. Are you struggling to accept Christ's redemption because of your sin? When we feel beyond God's redemption, Jesus has good news for us.

In this message, Pete Briscoe encourages us to remember that our sin actually makes us eligible for redemption. Sin is what makes redemption necessary!

We may say racism is a thing of the past, but, in many ways, it still infects the body of Christ. And just as a diseased body needs treatment until it's completely healed, we shouldn't stop treating racism in Christ's Body.

Jesus went towards those who were different than Him, and He instructs us to do the same. How are you allowing Christ to love all others through you? And what are you doing to treat the disease in the Body?

Enemies. We've all got them. They irritate us, hurt us, and bring out the worst in us. But as a new creation in Christ, what do you do with your enemies? Jesus assumed we'd have enemies, and His direction to us is blatant, but it's an action only possible through Him.
