Follow Me — Discovering the Heart of Discipleship (Find & Follow: Lesson 5)
Pastor Chris Andrews (Associate Pastor) - Matthew 4:18-22; Acts 12:2; Luke 6:46; 9:23-25; 14:25-30; Galatians 2:20; 1 Corinthians 6:20; John 1:1 & 14; 8:31-32; 14:15; Psalms 19:7-10; 119:105; Mark 1:35
What does it really mean to follow Jesus?
In this lesson , we look at the first disciples—ordinary fishermen who left everything when Jesus said, “Follow me.” Their response marked the beginning of discipleship, not just for them, but for all who would come after.
Discipleship is more than belief—it’s a new direction, a daily decision, and a lifelong pursuit. You’ll discover how Jesus calls us to a new purpose, invites us into deep sacrifice, and demands significant commitment. We’ll unpack the cost of discipleship, the heart of self-denial, and the joy of surrendering everything to the One who gave everything for us.
Summer Teaching Series:
This is not just another series on the Great Commission—this is a challenge. Do we really want to be a disciple-making church? Are we willing to move beyond good intentions and take Jesus’ final command seriously?
Find & Follow is a 9-week journey designed to help you step boldly into the Great Commission. In the first half of the series, we’ll explore how to share the gospel—from trusting its power to telling our personal stories and living as a witness. Then, we’ll shift our focus to discipleship—what it means to truly follow Jesus, grow in community, and invest in others.
