call of the disciples

Overveiw

jesus walked by the sea of galilee where he saw simon (peter) and his brother andrew fishing (because they were fishermen) and he told them to "come follow me, ad i will make you fishers of men) they left their nets and folloewd him. when he went a little futher he saw james and john preparing their nets. he told them to folloew him and they did. 

significance

discipleship is for all christians. the acll of the first is a role model for how christians should respond to God. 

  • jesus chooses you.- usually people choose the rabbis but jesus chooses the one that he wants
  • leaving their nets- they left everything they had. (compare to the rich man)
  • the disciples arent special- they ave a good job but simply educated.

peters promise and denial

this happens after the last supper

Overveiw

(peter promise) they go to the mount of Olives. jesus predicts that all the disples will run away "i will strick the shepards and the sheep will be shattered" Peter promises that he will stick with him even if the rest go away. jesus said "before the **** crows twice you will deny me three times." 

(peters denial) peter is in the courtyard of the high preist warming himself by the fire 

denial 1) servent girl recognises him, he denises 

denial 2) she points him out to bystanders- he denises it again

denial 3) other say he must be because he is from galilee. he swears and says "i dont know this man you're talking about"

the **** crows a second time. peter remembers what jesus had said and he broke down and wept.

Kingdom of God: the cost of discipleship

the rich man and wealth 

Overveiw

a rich man asked jesus how he could enter the KofG. Jesus told him to follow the 10 commandments. he said he has done that all his life. jesus then told him to give away his waeth to the poor and follow him. the rich man went away sad because he had alot of money.

the disciples were amazed at this becasue they thought that like the jews being rich was a sign that God was plased wirth you. jesus the says "it is harder for a rich man to enter the KofG, then for a camel to get thought they eye of the needle." disiples the asked who can be save and jesus said with Godf anything is possile. 

exaples of people who give up wealth
