Series: Following Christ (Discipleship)

Title: Commitment of the Disciple

Speaker: Cameron Colace

Passage: Matthew 22:34-40

Description

What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In Matthew 22, Jesus takes us to the heart of discipleship: love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. These aren't suggestions—they are commands that reveal what a life transformed by Christ should look like. In this message, we’ll see why God's command to love Him completely is both kind and kingly, how growing in Christlikeness changes the way we love others, and why genuine discipleship cannot be separated from love. We’ll also face a personal question: Are we truly living as disciples of Jesus, or are we simply close to the Kingdom?
