Matt 4:18-22

Discipleship Habit 02 Faith and Baptism
Discipleship Question: Am I declaring my faith in the truths of the gospel in the way that Jesus asks me to?
Matt 4:18-22
• In this passage Jesus exercises his authority to call people to follow him. You see that they respond (a) immediately and (b) without reservation by laying down their nets, that is their livelihoods.
• What other things do you notice in this passage?
• Jesus described their new purpose in terms of their old career. How might this speak to you where you are?
• To follow Jesus without reservation is their anything in your life you need to leave behind? Make a list.
• Prayerfully work through the list and begin to give up those things and act in accordance with the consequences of giving those things up.
• What do you believe is the major thing God is calling you to do with your life to honour him? If this is unclear you might take time over the next month to really think it through.
• Seek out help or wisdom if need be.
