Walking the Walk becoming followers of Jesus Dr. Adrian Todd -

Following Jesus Dr. Adrian Todd What does it mean to follow Jesus? Mark 8:31-38 Jesus definition; Mark 8:34 If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. Following Jesus is not cheap!

Why are we following? Dr. Adrian Todd Running away from HELL in fear! OR running towards Jesus attracted by His wonderful love!

Your prospects So what’s the cost? Your money Sell your possessions and give to charity. Luke 12:33 Be content with your wages. Luke 9:3 Every area of your life will be affected. Your time the poor, share the good news, church Missions anyone? Dr. Adrian Todd -

Not the world’s way Peter recognised Jesus as the Christ But he rejected the type of Christ  humble, suffering, laying down his life We are called to follow that type of Christ Not just about salvation This world is self-centred Following Jesus is self-less Dr. Adrian Todd -

The Narrow Way It’s bigger on the inside! Living within God’s safe structure allows us to thrive Inside we can become all that He meant us to be His own image Dr. Adrian Todd -

Making a disciple needs 3 The Mentor The Disciple/Follower The Master Dr. Adrian Todd -

The Master The one who is followed, the teacher, the master, Jesus  If you love me you will obey my commandments, John 14:15  If you continue in my word then you are truly disciples of mine John 8:31  Bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples, John 15:8 Know your Master - read His Word Dr. Adrian Todd -

The Disciple/Follower We learn directly from Jesus We also learn from our leaders Christian leadership is NOT heirarchical Leadership is more about influence, and less about power/control Dr. Adrian Todd -

The Mentor Discipling is about walking together in the light, 1 John 1:7  John 8:12 we walk in light and life  Eph 5:8 walk as children of light Dr. Adrian Todd My Dad’s feet To make disciples we first need to be disciples The mentor is NOT the Master Be careful who you choose to follow We learn and grow together Mentoring is like parenting

Chasing after God Have your spiritual antennae up Dr. Adrian Todd Jesus only did what what he saw the Father doing John 5:19

EeeeK! I can’t do this! No one can, on their own We need to be in relationship with God We need to be in relationship with His people AND, most impotantly, we need the enabling power of the Holy Spirit But that’s tomorrow Dr. Adrian Todd -
