I wasn't sure where to go next following the mini-series on discipleship but a few things coincided:
I'm reading Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard
I've been reading the Sermon on the Mount
and yesterday (by the time this goes live) I preached a message about how God is King.
And all of those things have one thing in common: God's Kingdom.
So let's take a look at God's Kingdom together.
It really is the natural place to go after looking at discipleship, because it's why discipleship matters - we're being made into people who feel perfectly at home in the Kingdom of God.
QuestionIs Jesus your saviour?
Is Jesus your King?
Salvation prayerLord I'm sorry for all the wrong that I've done and how I've gone against you. Thank you for dying on the cross for me and covering over all of my sins. I now accept your invitation into the Kingdom and full life. Jesus I make you my Lord and saviour. In your name, amen.
Final prayerLord, I want you to be King over all of my life. And that might scare me to say. So Lord would you even just give me a heart that wants you to be King over all of my life. I know that all of this is only possible with your Holy Spirit as you transform me into a person of love, as I follow you as a disciple. So God would you bring areas to my attention where I don't yet trust you but where you're asking me to. Help me to give it all to you Lord. In your precious name Jesus, amen.
