8/6/2023- Ep 16.2: How Not to Follow

King and Kingdom: How Not to FollowThe “Sermon on the Move” is attracting attention and crowds are beginning to follow Jesus. In Matthew 8:18-27, we see Jesus is looking more for followers than fans.  We are given a glimpse into how not to follow Jesus. If we are convinced we must follow Jesus, we must do it without pride (humbly come to him and serve him as Lord), without compromise (he is first; everyone and everything else is a far second), and without fear (courageously trust him).How would you counsel someone who wanted to follow Jesus as long as they could maintain their current lifestyle?Explain how Matthew 8 (specifically the scribe and the man that approach Jesus) speaks against the prosperity gospel.Find areas of “excessive fear” in your life. Confess these, and ask for a courageous faith to combat this.
