Discipling Like Jesus

SERIES - WholeLife Discipleship: Discipling Like Jesus   

“Follow Me.” These were Jesus’ words to his disciples. What did that mean? In his book I Am a Follower, Leonard Sweet says it’s not about leading, but about following. What was Jesus’ method for discipleship? What would happen in our families and community if we discipled like Jesus?


This week’s #WholeLifeTakeAways:

  • Share about a time you were part of an uncomfortable discussion over Sabbath lunch?
  • How easy is it for you to be sure that God is against the people who are against you?
  • For Jesus maybe it was the Pharisees, but which of your “enemies” is hardest for you to love?
  • Why do you think Jesus blatantly healed the guy on Sabbath?
  • What are practical applications of Jesus advice about banquet seating?
  • Who do you think of today that seem to be sure they have a seat in God’s kingdom based on something other than invitation?
  • How hard is it to remember that no one on their own has a right to be at the table?
  • Who do you want to understand they are welcome?
  • What will it take for you to not let busy life eclipse God’s party?
  • How can you make stillness and focus on God more intentional in your life?
