Walk with Me! - Discipleship 2023

Jan 15, 2023    Mike Burt

“The greatest gift a church can receive is to have a group of families who take their responsibilities with such Christian seriousness that they are willing to completely alter their lifestyle to raise up disciples for Jesus Christ.” Abraham Kuyper

Sunday we began with the call to ‘come and see!’ as Josh took us through the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. This week I will continue that call as Jesus summons the first disciples to ‘follow me!’ I want us to see what Jesus meant – far more that hitting that button on Facebook! Following involves several things – learning and trusting and going through tough things. I hope to have us all listen to the voice of the Lord and follow after Him. The enemies of following are distractions, pride and substitutes. Accept NO substitutes! I love the quote from C.S. Lewis: “Until you have given up yourself to Him you will not have a real self…” Find your ‘real self’ in Christ through Biblical discipleship – Follow Him!


See you Sunday,

Pastor Mike


BTW – this was the priority to Jesus! “Jesus poured His life into a few disciples and taught them to make other disciples. Seventeen times we find Jesus with the masses, but forty-six times we see Him with His disciples.” Dann Spader
