Foundations: Seeking Discipleship

Sermon by Pastor Corky Calhoun

The winter wedding tour (3 in 3 weeks) has concluded, and I'm baaaaaack! So grateful for Nathan and Janice whose sermons were outstanding. So, to this Sunday, I believe if we are going to live a life Unashamed for Jesus as we have declared, then we are going to have to be crystal clear about what we are building this one and only life on. Jesus makes it clear you can build your life on his words and commands or you can choose to disregard them, but the consequences are significant. We will reap what we sow 100% of the time. Isn't it interesting that we give so much attention to the outside, what others can see and so little emphasis on what can't be seen? Our health is a great example, we can put expensive clothes and shoes on a body we don't take care of. Or take our homes, we can fill them with leather furniture and endless throw pillows (only if you are married because no respectable single guy has throw pillows) and never think about what you're standing on. So, this Sunday I want us to look at a foundational principal of Christianity, and that is are we actually seeking discipleship? Are we actually trying to be like Jesus, are we taking his commands seriously, are we seeking truth or some version of it that supports what we want our lifestyle to be? Could it be that the church has been so focused on making members that we have forgotten that Jesus commanded us to go and make disciples? Do we know the difference? I think it's a matter of how bad do we want it?
