"Follow me and I will make you fishers of men"

MATTHEW 4:19

How you RESPOND to his invitation is THE DETERMINING FACTOR.

Notice what he DIDN'T ask them:

• He didn't ask them if they wanted to take a class on how ti become a disciple.
• He didn't ask them if they wanted to read a book together.
• He didn't ask them if they wanted to know more about the Bible.
• He didn't ask them if they "believed in Him" or not
• He didn't ask them if they wanted to go to Heaven when they died.

Jesus invited them into a RELATIONSHIP where they would spend time WITH HIM, become LIKE HIM and then, as a result DO WHAT HE DOES.

"Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."

A disciple of Jesus is....

A FOLLOWER of Jesus who is being FORMED by Jesus and FAITHFUL to the mission of Jesus.

Spiritual formation is NOT OPTIONAL.

You don't BECOME A disciple.

You BECOME AS a disciple.

Direction STARTS with a DECISION.

What has been FORMING YOU?

What do you WANT out of life?
