Notes:
Snapshot of a Disciple
1. Diet, they feed on Scriptures
2. Devotion, they follow the Holy Spirit
3. Discipline, they forsake sin
4. Discipleship, they fish for souls & feed lambs
1. Disciple FEEDS on the Holy Scriptures.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. John 8:31
We don’t read the Bible only to learn the Bible but to learn obedience.
Hebrews 5:8
Bible is not just for learning but also for living.
A disciple is not someone who only loves the word but someone who loves the Lord.
Matthew 28:19-20
“MOST CHRISTIANS ARE EDUCATED WAY BEYOND THEIR LEVEL OF OBEDIENCE”
When we are educated beyond our obedience, we become spiritually obese.
2. Disciple FOLLOWS the Holy Spirit.
Mark 1:17-18
John 14:16
Allos means "another of the same kind," as in "I enjoyed that sandwich; I think I'll have another.”
Heteros mean "another kind," as in, "This wrench doesn't fit; bring me another one.”
The Holy Spirit wants to be to you what Jesus was to the disciples.
Every believer can hear the Holy Spirit, but it takes a disciple to heed the Holy Spirit.
Obedience is the price of friendship with the Holy Spirit.
John 15:14
3. Disciple FORSAKES that which hinders their follow.
Matthew 16:24
Mark 1:17-18
Who you follow will decide what you forsake.
Devotion to Jesus determines what disciple denies.
Obedience will choose sacrifice.
Discipline is not the goal of discipleship; devotion is!
