Liberty Church - Cleveland, Texas

As a disciple follows Jesus, they grow. That is what this preaching series is about. The path of discipleship involves being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and doing the things that Jesus did. In order to help the disciples grow, there were three things that Jesus gave them: proximity, teaching, and opportunity. A previous sermon has looked at proximity to Jesus by abiding in the vine, and a future sermon will look at how Jesus allowed his disciples to step out and have a go. This sermon will focus on learning from Jesus.

Week four on The Path of Discipleship can be summed up in three simple instructions: be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. The previous sermon in this series looked at how we can be with Jesus through abiding in the vine. This message moves on to thinking about how we can become like Jesus, and it does so by considering a series of short parables and illustrations that Jesus taught in Luke’s gospel.

This is the third sermon in the ‘Path of Discipleship’ series. At the heart of Jesus’ call to his first disciples is the invitation to be with him. The path of discipleship is not primarily about a particular set of practices (although there are practices that help). Rather, it is about intentionally remaining in the presence of Jesus.

This is the second sermon in the ‘Path of Discipleship’ series In this sermon, we hone in on one of the most important heart attitudes of discipleship: self-denial. This is one of the most radical ways in which the path of Jesus differs from the path of the world.

This is the first sermon in the ‘Path of Discipleship’ series and will lay the groundwork for what is to follow. The idea is that Jesus doesn’t call us simply to sign up for an idea, subscribe to a philosophy or join a club. Rather, he invites us to be disciples. The word ‘disciple’ today may be unfamiliar to us apart from its use in church, but in the times of Jesus, it was commonplace. It simply means ‘learner’ or ‘apprentice’, and it was common for religious leaders and public figures to take on ‘disciples’ who would be taught to walk in the ways of the master. This is the invitation that Jesus extends to us, and in the series, we will explore what this involves.
