Jesus said that many people would call him “Lord” on the last day and yet not truly be his disciple. Is it possible to claim to be a Christian and not truly be saved? According to Jesus, the answer is yes. In this message from Matthew 4:18–22, David Platt unpacks the significance of what Jesus means when he says to people, “Follow me.” Biblical discipleship is more than merely saying a prayer or making a decision, though it may involve those things. Biblical discipleship means surrendering your life to Christ’s lordship, recognizing the identity of the One who invites us to follow him. He is Savior, Lord, King, and Messiah—truly God and truly man. There is nothing greater than having a relationship with God through his Son, Jesus Christ.

What makes someone a follower of Jesus? Going to church? Donating money to good causes? Trying to be a good person?

The answer is actually much simpler—all you have to do is follow the Leader. In this message, Dr. Stanley outlines exactly how to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, beginning with surrendering your life and mirroring His life of prayer, service, and sacrifice.

Don’t get caught up in performing Christianity—just pick up your cross and follow the Leader.

Are you a disciple or just a Christian? Is there a difference between the two? Jesus told us to go and make disciples, but instead we make Christians. We are often guilty of not preparing people for what it TRULY means to be a fully-devoted follower of Jesus Christ. In this 10-minute sermon from Luke 14:25-35 Jesus is brutally honest about what it means to be a disciple rather than just being a Christian. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
