covered.

August 18, 2024 • Pastor Thomas-Steele Carr • Romans 13:11, Matthew 9:9, Mark 1:14–15, Ephesians 2:8

When Jesus called Matthew with the simple words, "Follow me," it wasn’t just an invitation to leave behind a tax booth—it was a call to step into a life completely covered by grace, purpose, and ongoing discipleship. In the first century, there was a blessing that said, "May you be covered in the dust of your rabbi," a wish that you would follow so closely behind your teacher that his very footsteps would shape your journey and be cover you in dust from his sandals. Today, we're going to explore how saying 'yes' to Jesus means more than just a moment of salvation—it’s an invitation to walk so closely with Him that our lives are covered in His dust, marked by every step of discipleship. Are you ready to take the next step?
