Following Jesus eBooklet Series by Stephen Bly
What does following Jesus mean? Radical discipleship. That’s what Jesus encouraged for His followers. Nothing dull, stale, run-of-the-mill. He demanded a total, sold-out commitment from every would-be disciple. Or don’t follow Him at all.
Radical discipleship is spiritual greatness. Not fame. Not high position of church authority. Not superior understanding of biblical passages. Spiritual greatness means laying aside all that hinders total dedication to the cause of Christ. Become a way-paver, paving the way for others to come to Christ. Be willing to give of time and resources to see people come to the Lord. Put a priority on spiritual is time-consuming and difficult. But the rewards are magnificent. And eternal.
Jesus still asks today, “Are you willing to strive for spiritual greatness for My Name’s sake?” If your answer is yes, this Following Jesus series is for you.
Following Jesus series includes digging deeper discussions from the Book of Mark for individual and group study.
