Discipleship & Sermon on the Mount Part 1
In this episode we will be introducing our Season One theme of “Back to the Basics,” where will be discussing basic kingdom principles, Jesus’ most famous sermon (Sermon on the Mount), and other buzzwords that people say, but don’t always know how to explain to others.
Episode 1 takes us on the journey of knowing what it means to be a disciple and to walk in discipleship. Endeavoring to bring a realistic view of what that looks like in our lives today, and placing the burden of discipleship on the actual disciple—seeing that the disciple is the one making the commitment to follow Christ.
It is important not to shirk the responsibility of our commitments on to other people and blame them for our lack of private fellowship with Christ. We are literally walking side by side with Christ everyday, because He has sent us a built in teacher in the person of the Holy Spirit that lives in all born again believers.
We look at the decisions made by the disciples to leave behind their old lives to commit to a life of walking with Christ. We also see that disciples come from ALL walks of life, and there is no precursor to becoming a follower of Jesus—-just merely that when He calls your name, you answer!
Then we begin dissecting The Sermon on the Mount, which we will continue in the weeks to come, by going through The Beatitudes.
The Lord’s heart for us is that we are blessed!! Not so much outwardly with fancy things, but prosperous and fortunate INWARDLY, so that the inward blessing can flow outwardly and effect everything and everyone around us.
He doesn’t promise wealth or riches, but He does promise that we will be blessed. And it’s interesting to see a grounded perspective on what blessed actually means and looks like from His perspective.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments that you may have. We will do our best to answer in a timely manner either in writing or on another future episode! But we do want to hear from you and be able to interact with you.
May God bless you! Can’t wait to see where we grow from here. It’s an honor to be able to speak into your lives, and I don’t take it for granted!
