Follow Me?
Follow Me?
6 Sermons | February 26-April 2, 2023
Time and time again, when Jesus called his disciples he said to them, "Follow me." Jesus want us to do the same thing today, he wants us to follow him...but what does that mean?
In this series, we'll explore what it means to follow Jesus. And we'll also be reminded that every day we get to decide if we're going to follow Jesus or not.
Sermon 1
A Choice
February 26, 2023
Time and time again, when Jesus called his disciples he said to them, "Follow me." Jesus wants us to do the same thing today, he wants us to follow him...but what does that mean?
Well, Jesus tells us what it means to follow him when he says, "All who want to come after me must say no to themselves, take up their cross, and follow me." But, ultimately, we get to decide if we're going to do what it takes to follow Jesus.
Sermon 2
Ready to Work
March 5, 2023
We all know that most things in life take work. It takes work to plan a vacation. It takes work to purchase a new car. It takes work to pick out a new book. But sometimes we forget that following Jesus takes work too.
Following Jesus isn't just about sitting back and watching a worship service. Following Jesus is about putting your faith in action.
Sermon 3
So Loved
March 12, 2023
John 3:16 is perhaps the best known verse in the entire Bible, and it teaches us about a God who so loves the world. And that means that God loves the entire world and everyone in it...including people that we don't.
But, if we're going to follow Jesus, we have to commit ourselves to loving everyone the way that Jesus does.
Sermon 4
Worthless
March 19, 2023
We all know that we mess up and make mistakes when it comes to following Jesus. We don't love each other the way we should. We don't notice people who are hurting and need our care. We're blind to suffering all around us.
And because of all these mess ups and mistakes, it's easy to feel like God couldn't love us. But nothing could be further from the truth...God always loves us. And following Jesus means that we have to love ourselves too.
Sermon 5
It's On the Inside
March 26, 2023
When we first decide to follow Jesus, it's natural to want to look the part. But following Jesus is about so much more than just carrying a fancy Bible or wearing Christian clothes.
When you follow Jesus, he will change you from the inside out. And that means that you'll start producing godly fruit in your life.
Sermon 6
Why Should We Follow?
April 2, 2023
Following Jesus demands a lot from you. Following Jesus means that you make Jesus your first priority, that you love others and yourself, that you produce godly fruit in your life, and that you serve other people.
But even though following Jesus demands a lot from you, it's worth it. Because following Jesus is the only way you can be who you were created to be.
