Sermon Notes
Title: ‘Disciples’
Ref: Luke 14:25-35; Mark 1:15; Matt 22:34-40; Matt 28:19-20
Reflection Questions:
What does it mean to you to be a disciple?
Draw your own graph of your spiritual journey with Jesus and share it with someone?
Who has invested into you on that journey?
Who are you investing into as you love God, love others and make disciples?

The Pastor’s Pen
Disciples.
Have you ever noticed that
your children or other
people’s children begin to
take on something of the
manner of their parents? My daughter said to me the other day,
“You’re looking more like Granddad (my father) as you get
older”. Or maybe you’ve caught yourself saying, “I’m sounding
more like Mum“. The influence of those significant figures in our
life can leave good or bad impressions which can greatly affect
us.
The men and women who followed Jesus in his life time where
shaped by that experience greatly. They were called DISCIPLES—
called followers, teachable students, committed believers who
dedicated their lives to him. Peter summed up Jesus in this way,
“Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
We believe and know you are the Holy One of God” (John 6:68-
69).
As disciples, we know that these men and women walked in
obedience that for many cost them their lives, or their homes or
their freedom. They did this because they experienced love and
life that they had never known before and knew it was why they
had been created—relationship with God through Jesus.
If we know Jesus, we are his disciples—followers and learners.
Shaped by the master by his Word, by the Spirit, through
surrender and obedience and through the family of brothers and
sisters in Christ. Over the coming weeks we will examine who is
a disciple, how they are made and what is our role in making
disciples.
Let us be encouraged—as we are influenced by the master, so
we influence the word around us for Christ. This is our call—to
Love God, love others and make other disciples.
God bless
Pastor Stephen
