Sermons on Disciples Call:

The Twelve Men Who Shaped The World , Part 3 - The Apostle Andrew Series

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jul 8, 2006

Jesus drew from the same raw materials that He draws from today when He calls men and women to be His disciples. In this series, we are looking at each of the Twelve as in-depth as we can, based upon what we can know and discern from the Scripture.

Once again we turn to the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. We focused on the Apostle Peter last time, and we learned quite a bit about how Jesus can use the raw material of a person who is willing to be used. What do you remember about the way the disciples are grouped and paired in the ...read more

The Call Of Matthew According To Matthew

Contributed by Keith Bowman on Aug 1, 2005

Matthew recalls the day that Jesus called him to be a disciple. The majority of the sermon is a flashback to that day, where he wonders "Why me, what is so special about me?"

I want to thank you folks for allowing to come and speak with you today. I want to share with you a story that is very important to me. This story is about an extraordinary day that changed my life forever. It was just another day like any other, nothing really special about that day. Got up ...read more

From Follower To Disciple

Contributed by Mark Holdcroft on Aug 24, 2003

The disciples became followers of Jesus when John the Baptist pointed Him out, however they only became true disciples when they were willing to leave everything.

A Disciple Making Community

Contributed by Malcolm Rogers on Apr 23, 2016

The risen Jesus commands us to be a disciple making, grace offering and teaching, learning, obedient people who by faith know that he is always with us

And for that I have turned to the last few words of Matthew’s gospel and what is known as the great commission. The disciples have gathered together and Jesus has said ...read more

True Disciples Of Christ Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Oct 31, 2011

A disciple is simply a pupil not necessarily a true disciple of Christ even though they follow Christ.

When someone says they are Christian, what do you think they mean?? There are too many definitions of Christianity out there. Which one is right? Let me ask this important question: What is the main root word of the word “Christian”?? Since the main root of the word Christian is Christ, the only ...read more

Disciples Around The Cross

Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Feb 26, 2018

The Character Of A Disciple: Integrity Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 18, 2018

When a person has "integrity," our words, actions, values, beliefs, principles, character, our hearts are one. As disciples of Jesus, who was the embodiment of integrity, our words and actions, our values are integral, are one, with our Lord.

“Caveat emptor” … “Buyer beware” … because what you see, well … it’s not what you always get … and that’s been the case, it seems, ever since we’ve been banned from the Garden of Eden. We get our word “integrity” from a very ancient practice that was done to scam the consumers of pottery jugs and ...read more
