Season 4, Episode 11 — Matthew: The Way of the Kingdom of Heaven

Text: Matthew 4:18-25

Welcome to the table! In this episode we discuss Jesus calling four fishermen to become His disciples. I give some background on the relationship between a rabbi and his disciples in the first century. Kimberly and I reflect on being disciples of Jesus in the twenty-first century. We discuss what's hard about it and what we misunderstood or didn't understand about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

"A Rabbi's work was to instruct the crowds, but his greatest goal was to raise up disciples who would carry on his teaching."
