Control or Release

NOTE: there were audio challenges at the beginning of the service

Jesus issues a call to all his disciples…”Come and Follow”.  But what exactly does that mean? This morning we’ll look at how Jesus called His first followers to see what lessons are there for us.

Acts 5:41-42 (NLT) 41  The apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus. 42  And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message: “Jesus is the Messiah.” 

Finding and Following Direction from God

• What potentially selfish direction do you need to repent from, because you may be opposing God?
• How are you taking in God’s Word and praying in order to receive direction from the Holy Spirit?
• What suffering are you enduring that may actually be from doing the right thing?
  • Have you come to the point that you can rejoice in that?
• What situation are you facing that seems to have no solution?
  • What prayer could you continuously pray to release that to God?
