The Basics of a Disciple

Matthew 4:18-22

1. Jesus calls the willing
   • It’s not about us it’s all about Jesus. If we are willing to follow Jesus He can do something supernatural through us to change the world
2. Jesus calls us explicitly
   • To follow Jesus doesn’t just mean to walk behind Him, but to go the way He is going, do the things that He does, and act the way He acts. 
3.  Jesus calls us completely
   • Walking with Jesus requires a change of direction
   • Walking with Jesus means giving up something
   • Walking with Jesus means we agree with Him about our life direction
4. Jesus calls us to be devoted
   • The main task that Jesus has given for us is to follow Him and to help others follow Him. He is calling us to be disciples and to develop disciples
