Series: Following Christ (Discipleship)

Title: Called to Discipleship

Speaker: Walter Colace

Passage: Matthew 16:24-27

DESCRIPTION:

Following Jesus is more than believing in Him—it means surrendering our lives and choosing to follow Him every day. In Called to Discipleship, Walter Colace walks through Matthew 16:24-27 and Jesus' radical call to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. We’ll look at common obstacles that keep us from growing as disciples—including conformity, carnality, compulsiveness, and consumerism—and discover three essentials for effective discipleship: completely surrendering to Christ, living a disciplined life, and depending on the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus calls us to more than comfortable Christianity. He calls us to follow Him.
