Our focus determines our effectiveness. Just as a sheep will only follow one shepherd, so we as believers in Christ can only follow one Lord. It is easy to think we are following Jesus when, in reality, many other things compete with how we follow Him. These can include relationships, possessions, or even ministry. Following Jesus with all our hearts means that He is our central focus. In this, our supreme love for Him governs all other relationships and priorities.
As we follow Christ, we find that the key to reaching others for Him is being filled with Him! When we give God the right to guide, lead, and direct our lives, Christ’s life within us will bless and minister to those around us. The more Christ increases in our lives, the more we can invest in the lives of others for eternity. This is how we can walk as "fishers of men."

Are we willing to follow Jesus wherever He leads? Or do we say that we trust Him while we reserve the right to make our own decisions? Following Jesus means trusting Christ to determine the direction of our lives -- even when it doesn’t make sense. Join Nate and Gabe as they talk about following the Shepherd Who is trustworthy.

Following Jesus is about getting to know and listening to His voice. Listening takes time — and it competes with the many noises and distractions of a busy life. But if we take the time to still our hearts and listen to God’s voice, we will learn to trust Him and follow where He leads. Join Nate and Gabe as they share examples of what it means to follow Christ.

When Jesus approached two fishermen with a life-changing call, they embraced the call wholeheartedly. To these men, following Jesus meant a complete change of identity and purpose. Jesus gives the same invitation to those who desire to follow Him today.

Peter's stunning and dramatic fall is met by the even more stunning and dramatic forgiveness of Jesus. In this story we see the incredible reversals that happen in Peter through the reconciling and restoring work of Jesus.
Peter's stunning and dramatic fall is met by the even more stunning and dramatic forgiveness of Jesus. In this story we see the incredible reversals that happen in Peter through the reconciling and restoring work of Jesus.
Peter's self-confidence led him to follow Jesus at a distance as he was led away to trial. But it also set him up for a dramatic and stunning fall. He would deny Jesus not once, but three times and not in high profile circumstances, but amidst accusations from a servant girl. But, as the gaze of Jesus catches his eye it not only exposes his failures and brokenness, it also offers and equally stunning and dramatic loving forgiveness.
As he toils in the garden, Jesus asks Peter to keep watch with him. In so doing, he's redirecting a self-confident Peter away from self effort and toward dependence upon God. It the presence of God and through prayer, our intentions becomes conformed to God and his kingdom.
Jesus' cursing of a fig tree is meant to show his disciples the danger of external religion. This story, married with the cleansing of the temple, points out that while everything might look good from a distance, the truth is that religion cannot produce what God desires - a heart bent toward him.

Contrary to Peter's inquiry, forgiveness is not a religious action to be counted. Instead it's the natural overflow of the gospel in our lives. The King has infused his kingdom with a culture of forgiveness. And when we are truly impacted by his forgiveness, we cannot help but forgive as well.
When Peter and two other disciples witness the transfiguration of Jesus, they are overwhelmed and want the experience to continue. But Peter's offer of building three tabernacles for Jesus, Moses and Elijah is quickly corrected by God. Too often we cloud the gospel with spiritual experience, futurism and religion and in so doing miss the sufficiency of Jesus only.
In a very famous account of his life, we find that Peter "the rock" believes Jesus is the Messiah, but quickly becomes Peter "the stumbling block" when he questions Jesus' method and mission of suffering. We, too, have a tendency to desire a king who secures us, not a suffering servant who asks us to join him.
Jesus miraculously walking on water was an act of power, but even more so an act of love. It demonstrates God's willingness to come from the security of the mountaintop into the storm to rescue humanity. And Peter models for us the exact right response - to abandon our manmade protections and go to Jesus.
When Peter walks on water and then sinks, Jesus calls him to more faith. What we find is that when we have Gospel-motivated faith, it does the miraculous in our lives.
Questions to Consider during prayer:
In the midst of racial strife and injustice in our country, we can find hope in a God who is impartially aware and moving to bring healing. As the church, we should embody this as a way of life.
