     | 4,117 views

    What does it mean to "follow Jesus"? This evangelistic message helps explain in real terms what exactly we are called to do.

    I WANT TO FOLLOW JESUS (Luke 18.18-30) Introduction Ask the average person on the street, or some of the people you know "are you a Christian?", they would probably answer, "of course".

    This is what happens when you ‘abide with God’! You start affecting the life of others! Is it not exciting? Come on, we need to let the world know that it is fun being in the presence of God!

    Vine John 15:5 says, “I am the vine, you are the branches, he who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing.” Do you know what it means to abide in Him?

    The crowd in Jerusalem that day was made up of ordinary people, people like you, people like me.

    I wonder how many people in the crowd who shouted for Barabbas had also been in the crowd that shouted “Hosanna” a week before. Crowds had followed Jesus throughout his ministry. Crowds pushed their way into the little house in Capernaum so that the only way a paralyzed man could get to Jesus was ...read more
