Jesus Uses Ordinary People [Mark 1:14-20] - Jesus called ordinary men to follow Him into an extraordinary work.  As disciples of Jesus, we must also redefine our purpose to become fishers of men and join Him in His work to reach others.

Make Your Father Proud [Mark 1:9-13] - Jesus pleased His Father in what He did and in what He didn’t do. As followers of Jesus, we should imitate His obedient lifestyle.

Make Room for Jesus [Mark 1:1-8] - John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus’ arrival. We must make room for Jesus in our own lives to join Him in His Kingdom work.

God blessed the nation of Israel in order to be a blessing to all other nations, but eventually, they refrained from sharing that salvation with others. After the work of Christ, followers are called to go outside the walls of the church to multiply as we make disciples and plant churches.

Paul instructed his disciple, Timothy, to take everything he had learned and entrust it into others who would turn and do the same thing. To multiply disciples, we must be intentional with our relationships for Kingdom purposes.

After Jesus’ resurrection, he commanded his followers to go and make disciples of all nations. Instead of committed disciples obeying the Great Commission, we can revert to becoming consumers who succumb to the great omission.

On Easter Sunday, the disciples eagerly shared the joy of Jesus’ resurrection. If Jesus has truly defeated sin and death, we should fervently run to the world in order to multiply disciples with the news of his salvation.

Man’s attempts to reconcile with God were not only improbable – they were impossible. We reenter the presence of God not because we found a way but because Jesus made a way.

You Can’t Make It On Your Own - In Paul’s concluding remarks to the Colossians, he provides personal comments regarding specific ministry partners. Within these comments, Paul models the type of friends that a disciple will need to continue towards maturity.

Instead of waiting for unbelievers to come to the church, the church is meant to go to the unbelievers out in the world. By making the most of every evangelistic opportunity, disciples engage in Kingdom work by the way they pray, walk, and talk.
