Jesus' first followers were real men with real jobs. They left their careers (nets) to follow Him and take a radical change of direction in their lives. Jesus asked them to leave the familiar for the unfamiliar. They said goodbye to a normal, usual, for an extraordinary adventure full of risk and uncertainty. Not only did they take Jesus up on His offer, but they followed Him immediately. Our best life is the day we figure out Jesus has chosen you to be one of His followers.

Repeat as Needed

March 24, 2024 • Jerry Dusenberry • Luke 5:8–11, Acts 2:38, Mark 1:14–15

God wants us to bless others and spread his Kingdom. The only thing hindering what God wants to do through us is US. Our unwillingness to deny ourselves of our self-trust, confidence, wants, and desires can keep us from putting Jesus first in our lives. Repentance is the key that unlocks the door to what God wants to do in our lives.

Authority Issues

March 17, 2024 • Jerry Dusenberry

When Jesus came, some people were amazed that His words had such authority while others questioned the source of His authority. What will draw people to Jesus today is when believers allow Jesus to have full control over their lives. When we do, we can know the peace and comfort of trusting Christ, who still has authority over all things.

Don't Be Bashful

March 3, 2024 • Jerry Dusenberry • John 1:35–39, Luke 11:2–13

We all are looking for something. However, what we truly want can only be found in a relationship with Jesus. What He has to offer can't be found anywhere else. Our physical and spiritual life depend on what He has. So be bold when you ask Jesus because He is what we need most of all.
