The Pulpiteer

The graphic for the discipleship series

This is the first sermon of four in a series on discipleship.  We are moving forward with some things we’ve done with the Simple Church, so now we are examining discipleship on Sunday and having a Bible study mid-week on discipleship and our process.  The Scripture is from the Gospel of Mark, chapter one verses 14-20, and it is the story of the calling of the first four disciples.  In this story, which the second evangelist keeps brief, we learn some important things as Andrew, Simon, James, and John are called and follow Jesus.
