College Avenue Baptist Church - San Diego

A disciple resists ethnic and social stereotyping and places no limits on whom he or she must love as a neighbor.

Jesus is the most famous and influential person in all of human history.  No army, nation, or person has changed the story of history like Jesus. Yet, Jesus’ life is rather simple – He never travelled far from home.  He never married or had sex.  He never holds an office or leads an army. He never owns much stuff – in fact, He dies poor and homeless.  Jesus says that His kingdom is “not of this world.” Around the age of 30, Jesus starts preaching, telling stories, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and befriending social outcasts such as lepers, hookers, and crooks.  He gathers disciples from all kinds of different backgrounds. Following Jesus as His disciple is not a straight line journey; it is more of a zigzag, and it is not boring or lame.  You are invited to join Jesus on his zigzag (not boring) journey from Galilee to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51-19:44) as Dr. Luke answers the question:  How does a disciple of Jesus live?

Disciples of Jesus have the privilege of

experiencing the fulfillment of God’s long-

awaited promise of Jesus and spreading the

Word.

Tolerance should characterize the disciple’s attitude toward unbelievers. Intolerance should characterize the disciple’s attitude toward himself.

Giftedness is not just what you can do but what you are born to do, enjoy doing, and do well.  Each of is meant to be a gift to others and to glorify God.

What should you do with your life?  What major decisions are you facing right now?  Do you have a process for making decisions and plotting the course of your life, or do you just wing it?  What are the biblical values and principles that drive your decision-making process?  How can you pursue God’s priorities, avoid distractions, and live as the person called YOU?

God doesn’t usually provide me with a map for life, only a compass.

Never forget God’s faithfulness!

When we use the term “will of God” we can mean at least three distinctly different things: God’s sovereign will, God’s moral will, and God’s individual will. How do these three senses of God’s will relate to each other?

Pray for the people you love.

The greatest tragedy in life is not unanswered prayer but unoffered prayer (F.B. Meyer).  Our church family is committed to expressing our absolute dependence on God through personal and corporate prayer.  So, how can we learn to pray?  One way is by rubbing shoulders with people in the Bible and savoring their prayers.  

Pray for boldness.
