If you were unable to be with us on Sunday you can listen to this sermon here.
Mt 4:12-23
1. Do you remember when you left home to be on your own for the very first time? What were the things you were unprepared for? How did leaving change how you viewed yourself? or what you came to know about yourself?
2. What has 'follow' or 'following' meant for you in a spiritual or religious sense? What is the image you would use to describe it?
3. Mtr. Mary told us that Jesus calls us as we are, from where we are, being who we are. Have you been living as if you believe this is true? What excuses have you used to keep from listening for your call from Jesus?
4. "Jesus doesn't call everyone to leave everything behind, but no one can be a disciple without leaving something behind." If you reflect on it, what might Jesus be asking you to leave behind so that you might 'follow him more nearly?' Is there something about yourself or your life that you believe separates you from God's plan for you?
5. To follow Jesus is to live the Jesus way. If you could not give God the glory with your words, would those around you know that you are a follower of Jesus? How are you proclaiming the good news with your life?
6. Do you know and accept that you have been chosen by Jesus? How might it feel for you to live in this knowledge?
