Following Jesus

Who’s Your One

Following Jesus

Matthew 9:35-38

“And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19)

Discipleship that does not share the gospel is not New Testament discipleship

Following Jesus on Mission

1. What Jesus Did (35)

• He Went
• He Communicated
• He Met Needs

Like Jesus, we are called to go and share the gospel in Word and Deed

2. What Jesus Saw (36)

• He saw their Needs
• He saw their Condition
• He saw their Potential

As we follow Christ, He will open our Eyes To See as He sees!

3. What Jesus Felt (36)

“To be deeply moved” 

“His heart broke” (The Message Paraphrase)

“For the love of Christ controls us,” (2 Corinthians 5:14a)

As we follow Christ, He will open our Hearts To Feel as he feels!

4. What Jesus Said (37-38)

• An Abundant Harvest
• A Labor Shortage
• A Prayer Priority

Jesus didn’t instruct them to pray that the World would come to the Church; but that the Church would go to the World

5. What Jesus Did (10:1-5)

• He Called them to Him
• He granted them Authority
• He Sent Them Out

Christ is in Me for Them!
