Discipleship 101
October 1, 2010

Because I am not a “fix it” kind of guy, I had to call a friend who is a great handyman to make some repairs in my home recently. He came over, and I gave him my list. But to my surprise, he told me I would be doing the repairs myself! He modeled for me how to do it, instructed me along the way, and stayed with me. I followed his example and successfully made the repairs. This modeling seems close to what Jesus did when He called His first disciples.

When Jesus called those men to follow Him, He wanted them to be with Him and to teach the good news of the kingdom of God (Mark 1:14,39; 6:12). The first job would require being under the immediate super-vision of Jesus—learning His words and interpretation of the Scriptures and watching His behavior. For the second task, Jesus sent them out to preach (Mark 3:14-15)—saying what He said and doing what He did. As they carried out these tasks, they were to be dependent on Jesus.

Today, Jesus is still calling His followers to this simple, yet powerful process of discipleship—being with Him, following His instructions, and living His example. Are you one who is dependent on Him as you’re following Him today?

For Further Study
For help in drawing near to the Lord to learn from Him,
read the online resource Keeping Our Appointments
With God at www.discoveryseries.org/q0718

Discipleship is relational and experiential.

Read: Mark 3:13-19

[Jesus] appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach. —Mark 3:14

Bible in a year:
Isaiah 11-13; Ephesians 4

Thank you, Conor.

Today’s Pledge graphic was made by MamaBear two years ago.

Happy Red Friday, Conor.
Your Friday posts remind me of who should be in our WH.
Thank you bringing them here again.

Wishing you a beautiful Day.

Fall is my favorite time of year,
the gorgeous colors of the trees
trees give shade, food, nuts, wood for lumber, beauty, wood for warmth, cooking,

I cry to see trees neglected or wrongly cut back, and dying, we are so off the cuff about their importance and what they give to our lives.

Fall means cool days, picnics in a sweater, football, cook outs and walks in the woods, A special time of year.

God is so good. He gives us seasons and they each offer their own particular joy.

Thank You, LORD, for the bountiful world on which to we live.

Happy October, Billie.
