We are also called to go into the harvest field. In fact, we walk through it every day.  Do we go with the idea of harvesting the crop? or just getting to the other side of the field.

Jesus talks with three men about following him.  Three men, three lessons.  Today we learn the call to be a disciple is the call to: Choose God over 1. My earthly securities, 2. My own family, 3.My own desires.  Why then would anyone want to be a disciple? we look into that too.

All human life matters to God; from the unborn-to the those waiting to die, and everyone in-between.  God created man in His own image, and God has a plan for each one of our lives.  

Be resolved in your goal to fulfill God's call on your life because you will probably face rejection.  Without resolve, you will struggle to keep going.  When you face rejection, handle it the right way, not like James and John who wanted to call down fire from heaven on those who rejected them

A common well-known phrase says, "There is more than one way to skin a cat", meaning there is more than one way to do something. Today we see that there is more than one way to do ministry, and more than just a few people are called to do it.

We have a goal to make changes in the upcoming new year 2018.  Make one of those goals, to become more "godly".  There are benefits both for now and later

God can use ordinary people to do impossible things.  Questions is, are we willing to do the impossible, as well as the possible?

Wise men seek Jesus, Wise men Worship Jesus, Wise men bring gifts to Jesus.  Are you wise?

The disciples argue about which of them is the greatest. Jesus lets them know that greatness does not depend on what we consider greatness, but on what He considers greatness....Being a servant of all.

Three disciples learn more about Jesus.  They see Jesus transfigured in his heavenly glory. Their understanding of who Jesus is has grown since the time they were called to be his disciples, and will continue until they reach heaven.
