    Are you a fan of Christ or a follower of Christ?

    Are you a fan or a follower? A fan is just someone who cheers from the sidelines, but a follower, a follower is someone who imitates that person. Are you a fan or a follower of Christ? Remember that John tells us to be imitators of Christ, and to walk as Christ walked. For the longest time I ...read more

    Not A Fan But A Follower

     | 7,060 views

    Jesus has many casual fans, but He asked us to take up our cross and be a follower. It costs something to be a true disciple.

    TITLE: Not a Fan but a Follower TEXT: Mark 8:27-38 INTRO: A soldier was frantically digging in during battle as shells fell all around him. Suddenly his hand felt something made of metal and he grabbed it. It was a silver cross. Another shell exploded and he buried his head in his arms. Just then, ...read more

    Motivated To Follow Series

    Following his discourse on the obedience of Christ, and an admonition for the believer to possess the mind of Christ, Paul discusses what that looks like in a mature believer. This is humbling, and impossible within ourselves, but possible in Christ.

    Motivated to Follow Philippians 2: 12-18 One of the greatest means of motivation is a great illustration or example. Following the great discourse on the obedience of Christ, having provided the great example for believers to follow, Paul offers a discourse on our obligations to follow the example ...read more

    What does it mean when we follow Jesus

    Matthew 4:18-22 18 One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. 19 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” ...read more

    Follow the instructions of Jesus by praying "The Lord's Prayer" with shameless audacity!

    Instructions. We have all, at some point in time, wrestled with following the instructions. It may be for a home improvement project, piecing together a pressboard bookshelf, or reading down the side of a box learning how to prepare that particular side-dish for supper. Instructions are an ...read more

    Following At A Distance

    Too many believers are solely a follower and not a disciple of Christ, they do not build and strengthen the church. Oh yes, they come to church but there participation in the works of the church is at a distance.

    Last week we learned that all believers of Jesus Christ are joined as one Body in Christ through the Spirit of God. We learned that each member is vital to the church and thus every member has a responsibility to the church in carrying out Jesus continuous work of redemption. As I read ...read more

    Some people need to be followed-up ad infinitum in order to win them for Christ!

    Follow-up! “Let's go back and visit each city where we previously preached the word of the Lord, to see how the new believers are doing'” (Acts 15:36). I remember back while working for a bank, I attended an irate customer call that was meant for my boss, the customer spewed exotic ...read more

    Caleb, the wholehearted follower, trust in the unseen God, cling to His promise, and crave for His blessings. Nothing is really 'lost' for those who honors God.

    [RECAP last week sermon - John 6:60-69] Peter: "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." (6:68-69) We FOLLOW Jesus for WHO He is, more than for WHAT He can give us. • It is a blessing to receive from Him and we ...read more

    Does being a follower automatically make you a success? Peter shows us what it is to follow at a distance and the reprecussions that it can bring to your life if you are not willing to follow at the side of Jesus. Fortunately, Peter changed his ways and

    A good Fan just shows up for the weekly event. Good Fans do that you know! And they will stay a Fan as long as it benefits them. A Follower of Jesus will follow. They will follow him even when there is a crisis, even when they do not fully understand.
