The Call to Discipleship
The goal is to tell people about Jesus, try to lead them to the Lord, and then
prayerfully take them under your wing and help them get on their feet
spiritually. ...

The Invitation To Consider
"Come and see" – Jesus is still inviting people to consider Him. We are
living in a world where people are seeking answers. They are looking for
direction, fulfillment and hope. If you are among that number and you are
looking for more from life, you need to know that His invitation to "Come and
see" still stands. ...

Come and See
This is classic Jesus. Always with Jesus it's, "Come and see". Always with
Jesus the invitation is extended, a gracious and wide open invitation.
What's more, the invitation always comes with a promise. ...

The First Disciples of Jesus
Following Jesus is not all health and wealth. Sometimes it is suffering.
Sometimes it is poverty. So the question is, "What seek ye?" What is your
motivation in seeking Jesus? ..
10.
The Invitation to Serve
This is what the Gospel of Mark reveals about the twelve disciples who stood
closest to Jesus. They sound like children who play "King of the Hill." They
shamelessly tried to scramble to the top of the heap. We hear them beg for
power, and shake our heads in disbelief. ...

Fully Devoted Disciple - Part 2: Love Others

Poem: Who will go and work for Me today?
"Who will go and work for Me today?
Who will bring to Me the lost and dying?
Who will point them to the narrow way?"...
17.
Yes, You Can-Know God
Why would such a powerful, just God care enough about you and I to take the form
of a man-Jesus, called Christ-come to earth and die on a cross to pay for our
sins? ...
18.
Have You Encountered God Today?
Jesus is still showing up today, often in the midst of our most difficult
storms. Sometimes it's even on the Moon! As we encounter Him in a personal
way, Jesus is calling us to take courage, to step out of our boats of
security and trust Him. ...
