    Each of us has been called to follow Christ, but we need to consider what that means and what it will cost us.

    Luke 5:27-31 Follow Me FBC Whitewright February 3, 2013 Do you ever ask yourself what it is that God wants from you? Maybe what Jesus wants you to do? I have for years -- for too long my relationship to Christ was identified by my work for Him. But now there has been no work as I have not ...read more

    This is the story of the calling of the tax collector Levi. The focus of the message is that no one is beyond the grace of God. Jesus was not so much concerned about what Levi was, but about what Levi could become

    In the call of Levi we learn how Jesus saves sinners.

    Scripture Luke wrote his Gospel so that we would know that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. In the early chapters of his Gospel, Luke showed Jesus seeking and saving those with physical ailments. In today’s narrative, however, Luke showed Jesus taking the initiative to reach a sinner ...read more

    Levi changed his name to Matthew in his Gospel to reflect his heart change.

    Last week we talked about the man who came through the roof with the help of his friends. Remember Jesus was more concerned about his spiritual healing than a physical healing. While his friends expected a physical, healing Jesus instead forgave his sins. It was after the religious people got upset ...read more

    My point is this, change is a natural part of life, but we do not have to accept all change. What changes should we accept? What changes should we go after? What changes should we praise God for when they come? How do we identify those changes that wi

    Levi or Matthew was call to Leave all, rise up, and follow Christ. As we look at the Bible this morning, we will look not at the costs of following Christ but rather of the benefits of following Christ!

    When our desire for something better gets bigger than the reasons "why not" then we are on our way to receiving from God, but it takes determination on our part, then God will meet us there....

    Luke 5:27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. 28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

    Unlike the Pharisees, Jesus saw Matthew’s need, his worth and his potential. Matthew understood his own need, was willing to follow Christ and shared the Good News.

    We are going to look at a man called Levi (also called Matthew in Matt 9:9-12). I will use the more familiar name Matthew here. It is surprising that Jesus would even call a tax-collector to follow Him. • Jesus was preparing a group of disciples who would eventually bring the good news about ...read more
