What does it mean to follow Jesus?
Marked - called by the saviour!
Matt 4.19
Big Idea: Jesus continues to call people to follow him as his students and apprentices.
Application Point: Being a follower of Jesus means we order our lives around three primary purposes: being with God, becoming like Jesus, and doing what Jesus did. Will you follow Him?

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
