 "ARE YOU FOLLOWING JESUS?"   Why do we have to follow him?

1. Authority: Jesus knew who He was. No explanations or introductions.

2. Transparency, vulnerability "I'll show you myself"

3. Love.

4. Comforting. "I will make you fishers of men"

5. Relationship.  Your ministry depends on the relationship you have with God.

6. Priority. We are God's priority; He values a relationship with others and us.  Therefore we have the priority to catch men.

 Discipleship begins with Jesus' call. 

 Next week’s message: There is no excuse for making an excuse.  Read Luke 14 (our focus will be on ver: 15-24).
