Follow Me

 

Have you seen any good movies lately? If 10 friends went to the same movie, and afterward you asked each of them to tell you about it, you’d most likely get 10 different descriptions of what the movie was about. Each of us respond or interact with a story differently. That’s part of what is fun about discussing things like books or movies with others who have also experienced them. I’m always fascinated by the things I miss in a storyline that someone else totally picks up on. And likewise, I see things that others miss. We’re jumping back into our series in the book of Matthew this week and picking up the story of Jesus’ ministry with the calling of His first disciples in the second half of chapter 4. We’ll be looking at the question of what it really means to follow Jesus. For most of us, it’s a familiar passage. But, as with other stories, perhaps there are pieces of it that you’ve missed or need to be reminded of in a fresh way. Of all the stories in this world that have been told, this is the one that matters most. The story of Jesus and His call for you to follow Him. In this message we continue in our journey to know Jesus more deeply and follow Him more faithfully.
