Synopsis: When Jesus calls we need to go. |
When Jesus calls we need to go.
Biblical Reference: Matt 4:18-22, 9:9, John 1:35-51
Location Anywhere
Background / Setup
Jesus is looking for people who ware willing to
drop whatever they are doing and follow him. Scripture tells us that is what his
disciples did, would you?
Warm-up
Designate someone to be Jesus and have him stay away from
the group until they have left for their assignments. Then he is to come up to
them and say "follow me" and keep walking. After twenty minutes or
everyone has followed him have him lead them back to base. The rest are to be
told that a dollar is hidden somewhere in the vicinity, and if they find it in
twenty minutes they can keep it. Have "follow me."
Study
Matt 4:18-22
Matt 9:9
Luke 5:1-11, 27-28
Application
The purpose of this is to show us that when Jesus calls
we need to follow. If we are concerned about the world, we won’t and will
be left behind.
Reflection
1. Why do you think the disciples left their livelihoods
to follow Jesus? 2. Do you think they second guessed what they were doing? 3.
How would you have answered if you were there? 4. How do you think James’s
and John’s father reacted? 5. Would you be willing to leave your life
behind to follow wherever Jesus called you?
