3 pages were filled up with notes from a truth that Ross preached to us Sunday about the disciples. A word he used a lot is subversive. Dictionary.com says that subvert means to overthrow. I wrote next to subversive- “build their own agenda”…. I think this means that the disciples were subversive in the fact that they overthrew their own agendas and the world’s agenda in order to follow Christ. Here are some more truths that made the disciples true followers of Christ and something that we should strive for:
· The most amazing thing about you should have nothing to do with you. (Pointing to Christ)
· Christ summons us by regenerating our heart.
· Don’t go to Him for fine-tuning…… go to Him to discover your brokenness.
· You’re welcome to be in the midst of His people as a screwed up mess- well people don’t need a doctor.
· A disciple only makes Biblical sense when in the midst of other disciples…your physical heart couldn’t survive very long if it was outside the body.
· He wants your heart before your hands. (love Him, then serve and work for Him….be a Mary not a Martha)
· God is not in a hurry….so why are we?
· Jesus is so much better than ministry!! Be with Jesus!
· Don’t be busy being busy, be busy at the thrown of Christ.
· Most of your time and energy should be used getting to know Christ.
· THE PROBLEMS OF THIS WORLD CAN BE ANSWERED BY THE GOSPEL. This should be our first answer when faced with a problem.
· Tell people about Jesus as an act of worship- without worrying about the results- that’s in God’s hands.
· If you stopped following Jesus, would Satan notice? (Ouch!)
· God is worthy- He is worthy enough to not get everything we ever wanted. He is worthy enough to suffer.
· GIVE UP YOUR PREFERENCE- JESUS DOESN’T CALL US TO BE HAPPY- HE CALLS US TO LOVE AND SERVE HIM- TO LEAVE OUR SELFISH LIFE BEHIND!
