Follow Me | Believer: Legacy Month Series | David Eiffert

Nobody sat you down and told you to pick somebody to follow. You did it anyway, and in ten years you’ll arrive wherever they’re going. The question is who’s got your ear right now.Believer Church turns 46 this month, and Pastor David opens our four-week series on the culture of this church with the first two words Jesus ever said to a follower: follow me. He walks through three things:Everybody follows somebody. You didn’t decide to. It’s how you’re built. God made you to take your cues from somebody, and that’s the design, not a defect. The problem is that you don’t just go where they go. You become what they are.Who you follow determines where your life goes. A young man didn’t leave the faith because of a crisis or a church hurt. A friend sent him a podcast, he pressed play, and then he pressed play again. You don’t drift into a destination. You follow your way there.So, follow Jesus. A lot of Christians live at the end of the leash asking “Do I have to?” The Christian life isn’t how close you can get to the edge. It’s how close you can get to Jesus. He saves you, and he also leads you, and the closer you get to the master, the easier the walk becomes.The message lands with communion and an invitation: you don’t have to clean yourself up first. He comes to you. You respond.Scriptures: Acts 4:32, Matthew 4:19, Jeremiah 2:5, Deuteronomy 28:47-48, Romans 6:16, John 12:26, Joshua 14:9#BelieverChurch #FollowJesus #Discipleship #WhoAreYouFollowingThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!
