Back to Basics Part 7 – A Disciple’s Call to Engage with the Broken
Colin preached this message on July 28th 2024 at Word of Grace.
We are continuing our study on discipleship. As a recap let’s look at some of the things we discussed in the previous weeks:
Last week we saw 3 marks of the disciples –
- Holds onto the teachings of Jesus
- Love one another just as Jesus loved you
- Bear fruit
We see snapshots of Gospel in the lives of the disciples.
Matthew 9:9 NIV – As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
Jesus sees Matthew, a tax collector. His job is not a very good one as he collects tax from the Jews and gives to the Romans. Jesus says only two words, “Follow me.” Matthew immediately got up and followed Jesus.
Matthew received the effectual call through Holy Spirit. ( Read the notes)
