“It’s Personal” Mark 1:16-20

Discipleship is personal: a personal call to TRANSFORMATION.

1. Jesus saw…  “Love, discipleship, ministry are personal activities towards specific people.”  Are we asking, “What’s the least we need to do to get the most people?” or “How far can we go to help people feel God’s love?”  Does discipleship get personal for you?

2. “Follow me”  “I am with you always to the end of the age.”—Matthew 28:20  Jesus’ Kingdom of God movement is focused on a small community of people centered around and shaped by Jesus.

3. “I will make you become…” Showing Shaping

3. “I will make you become…” False Religion  A way of reinforcing my beliefs and lifestyle and tending to my spiritual desires without any intention of being changed Discipleship  A life of personal relationship with Jesus that transforms my life into one that resembles Jesus and draws others into his Kingdom

4. “…fishers of people”  “When you go, make disciples of all nations”—Matthew 28:19  More next week!

Eugene Peterson  “There can be no maturity in the spiritual life, no obedience in following Jesus, no wholeness in the Christian life apart from an immersion and embrace of community. I am not myself by myself. Community, not the highly vaunted individualism of our culture, is the setting in which Christ is at play.”

Communion  Find someone you don’t know well  Introduce yourself, shake hands, etc.  If so, come forward  Introduce them as I come around to offer Communion  Get Personal!
