Follow Me - The Call to Discipleship

Listen Later

In this message we explore Jesus’ call to true discipleship—what it meant for the first disciples, and what it still means for us today.

 

  • We begin by looking at Matthew 4:18–22, where Jesus personally calls Peter, Andrew, James, and John. Their response reminds us that discipleship is always personal and always initiated by Jesus Himself.
  • We then look at the reality that following Jesus requires leaving something behind. Luke 9:23 and Matthew 16:25 show that discipleship isn’t part-time or casual; it’s a daily surrender of our own desires in order to follow Him.
  • From there, we see that Jesus doesn’t just call us—He transforms us. Matthew 4:19 and Romans 12:1–2 reveal that following Jesus leads to a renewed mind, a changed life, and a new purpose. He turns ordinary people into world-changers.
  • Finally, we wrestle with the cost and the reward. In Mark 10:28–30, Jesus promises that anything we lay down for Him is never wasted. And in John 14:6, He reminds us that He alone is the way to true life.
  • We end where Jesus ended—with a mission. Matthew 28:19 calls every believer to go and make disciples.

    • If you're exploring what it truly means to follow Jesus, or you're ready to take the next step in discipleship, this message is for you.
