Who is Not a Disciple?

Not a Disciple - 3 Conditions to Examine: Luke 14: 25,27

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:  

26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters 

— yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. 

27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. 

Are you His Disciple? If you believe Disciples are spiritually superior to Christians, keep reading — there's a surprise in store for you.


3 Priorities to Examine:   The Parable of the Great Banquet - Luke 14: 15-20 

15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’

19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’


Then Who is a Disciple?

According to John 8:31-32 

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

A disciple is student of Christ - Someone who spends time with the Word of God & Prayer in order to obey His teachings & to know Him better and love to walk with Him more closely.

Disciples are Christians: Acts 11:26

26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. 

Aren't we now witnessing that not all Christians are truly Disciples. Are you a Christian or Disciple?

What Discipleship is Not?

Cost of Discipleship

Ground Reality is

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Discipleship has

Sermons to Meditate:

1. Examine

True Faith is not only a sure knowledge whereby I hold for truth all that God has revealed to us through His Word, but also a hearty trust. We hope that everyone will be challenged to read and reread the scriptures to see whether or not what we believe is written in the Holy scriptures.

2. Experience

After we examine ourselves, it's time to realign and refocus to experience personal growth through the power of the Holy Spirit and to find God's plan for us. Based on our experiences and observations, most believers lack proper understanding in at least one of the following areas, which are means to grow in grace.

Ask yourself 2 pretty serious questions after listening to above sermons:

Knowing the right answers or knowing what we should say is not the same thing as really believing or experiencing the things being preached. As disciples, we are diligently seek from God what he has freely given. In addition to believing the essential truths about the gospel, disciples experience the transforming power of God's grace.  The Scriptures speak of Christ and His Spirit dwelling within His people. We go from being spiritually dead, to spiritually alive - Ephesians 2:1-10. 

As we grow in grace all true disciples will come to love the things that God loves and hate the things that God hates.

3. Effect

After experiencing enough personal spiritual growth, it's time to impact others. We can't make a difference when we're alone; it's God's plan for us to work together as a group. The idea of coming together to impact others and glorify God reflects a strong sense of community and shared purpose. Working together despite our differences can lead to powerful outcomes, especially when unified by Holy Spirit and a common goal to Glorify God. When true followers of Christ fellowship in one spirit and mind, the effect is powerful and transformative. 

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

4. Engage

Faith encourages us to act out of love, even in times of uncertainty, strengthening our resilience and bringing others closer to God's promises.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Finally place our trust entirely in God rather than relying solely on our understanding while serving others. Engaging in faith means yielding control to Him and trusting that He will lead us where we need to go. Amen!
