  1. Hiring a Disciple

    11-21-10
  2. The Jesus method of interviewing Starting in Luke 4:14 Jesus knew that discipleship was the approach He would use to spread His message He needed trustworthy, teachable, energetic men who would follow Him He began the interview process……
  3. He was invited to dinner Peter had very little experience in who he was dealing with, but knew he wanted to understand more There was faith in the house to see his mother healed
  4. Peter had a bent for action Jesus picks a boat (at random????) and asks Peter to row out into the lake So Peter does Jesus is the center of attention, not him
  5. Peter was obedient Jesus – the non-fisherman, gives instruction on fishing Peter – the fisherman who “knows better” declares his willingness to follow the instruction It defied science, nature, and Peter’s own intuition, but he did it anyhow
  6. Peter – the uber fisherman So many fish that he needed help from his friends So many fish that his boat started to sink Possibly more fish than he had ever caught in his life in one day His response?
  7. Peter gives credit to the King He gives full credit to the One who provided He recognized that he could not have done it on his own
  8. What is true about the turtle? There is no way it got up there by itself
  9. Think through this…. Jesus extends the invitation Peter’s got some decisions to make What about the unmended nets? What about my wife, my mother in law, my responsibilities What about my boat They forsook everything and followed
  10. The cost of discipleship Peter left all he had The rich young ruler would not make the same commitment (Matthew 19:16-30) Americans are the most wealthy people in the history of the world Are we more like Peter or the guy who was wealthy? Would your check book reflect it?
