ANNOUNCEMENTS:
----------
Last week we were reminded that Christianity is countercultural, it’s culturally offensive in many ways (promotes a right way of thinking and believing), and we also saw the generosity of the Gospel.
Generosity — how the gospel is for all people in all places.
The good news of Jesus isn’t for a certain type of person, (in this case, the Jews).
Christianity is for all!
Verse 17 ended with
Even Jesus message is bold!
This was essentially his first sermon.
What’s he say?
“REPENT!
Stop what you’re doing, refrain from the current way you’re living!
Turn to God!”
With that context in mind, if you can, stand with me for the reading of God’s Word.
s
I. Follow Me (v.18-19a, 21)
A. Discipleship is a central tenet in Christianity
1. Definition of Disciple
A disciple was an adherent or follower of a master, an intimate companion in some common endeavor, often learning and promoting a particular ideology.
a.
b.
2. Following someone you don’t know: Were these men crazy?
a. It’s not as odd as it may appear.
b.
Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, as shown in , .
So that means these men knew who Jesus was.
c.
Jesus wasn’t an entirely random person to them.
They wouldn’t have known all the nuances, they may not have necessarily thought he was the Messiah or anything… but they would’ve known who he was.
d.
Since Andrew was a disciple of John, chances are he was a believer.
B. Who do you follow?
1.
We are often unconsciously being discipled by things we hate
Jesus is not implying that being a “fisher of men” involves anything seductive, deceitful, or harmful.
Rather, he is pointing out that just as fishermen try to gather fish from the sea, his disciples too will be trying to gather together other individuals who are willing to follow Jesus in radical obedience.
2. What/Who are your major influences?
II.
The Urgency of our Calling (v.
20, 22)
Simon Peter and Andrew
James and John
Matthew
A. Discipleship and Evangelism are not for the “professionals”
1. Priesthood of Believers
B. Barriers to Obedience
Why are we so afraid to “go”?
Rejection
Ignorance (I won’t know the answers)
Apathy (I really don’t care)
Risk (what if it doesn’t work out)
Family & Friends
III.
The Mission of Disciples (v.19b)
A. Fishers of Men
1.
Jesus is not implying that being a “fisher of men” involves anything seductive, deceitful, or harmful.
Rather, he is pointing out that just as fishermen try to gather fish from the sea, his disciples too will be trying to gather together other individuals who are willing to follow Jesus in radical obedience.
2.
B. Evangelizing to Postmodern People
Listening to people’s story
Uncovering biases, idols, belief systems
Christianity Works!
