In Luke 14, Jesus uses the term “disciple” three times, offering with that term a conditional statement. The Lord says that unless one does certain things, that individual cannot be his disciple. That phrasing does not communicate that one is not permitted to be his disciple, but rather that he or she does not have what it takes to be a disciple of Jesus.So what does it take to be a disciple of Jesus? The first thing addressed in Luke 14:26 is LOVE. Do you love Jesus more than anyone else?

On our last episode, Dan and Robert discussed Jesus’ example of service and the emphasis he places upon his disciples serving others. What motivated the serving spirit of Jesus? Hebrews 12:1-2 may give us a clue.

Jesus uses the term “disciple” in Matthew 10:42 to call us to his own example of service. Am I willing to live like Jesus?

On our last episode we learned that a disciple, according to Jesus, is someone who LOOKS like him (Matthew 10:25). Let’s explore that deeper by focusing Jesus in his darkest hour, at Calvary, and making seven broad applications from the things Jesus said while he was on the cross.

Dan and Robert continue their study of Jesus’ use of the title “disciple,” noting the times when Jesus himself gave us a description of what it means to follow him. In addition to the fact that Jesus’ disciples must LISTEN to him (see season 8, episode 2 and episode 3), we learn that Jesus’ disciples must also LOOK like Jesus. Let’s dive into Matthew 10:25 and focus on when Jesus said, “It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher.”

On this special episode of Today With Jesus, recorded at The Light Network’s Conference in Henderson, TN, Dan and Robert share one passage each that grew their love for Jesus.

This episode, recorded live from Polishing the Pulpit in Sevierville, TN, fleshes out how disciples are to listen to Jesus by focusing on one parable which demonstrates how we should listen and one passage highlighting Jesus’ example as one who listened to God.

What did Jesus mean by the title disciple? After all, if we are to go and make disciples (Mat. 28:19-20), we need to know what the Lord meant by that command. This week, Dan and Robert turn to Matthew 10:24 where they learn that, to Jesus, a disciple is someone who will LISTEN to Him.

As familiar as it is to many Christians, the emphasis of “Great Commission” may not be what you think it is. The singular command of Matthew 28:19-20 is explained by three participles. At the fore of Jesus’ commission is to “make disciples.” But what exactly does that mean?Dan and Robert dive into the Great Commission as they introduce season eight of Today With Jesus.This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the CONNECT Conference in Nashville, TN.

Jesus was at the heart of Paul’s heart. He never wavered — regardless of what people said about him or did to him. In this season finale of Today With Jesus, Dan and Robert overview Acts 21-28 with four words which emphasize Paul’s devotion to his Lord. Join us for season 8, the Lord willing, when we will discuss “Jesus’ Use of the Title ‘Disciple’.”
