Please Be Seated
Thank you Brother Steven for giving me this opportunity to preach.
This morning we are going to do things a little bit differently.
Starting with a different kind of Title: I’ve titled the sermon today Rockstar Discipleship.
Today we will be talking about a man from the bible who is a bit of a rockstar and we will be talking about discipleship.
Rockstar Discipleship?
The man I am talking about was a bit impulsive.
He dove right in to whatever he was doing.
He wanted to do things his own way.
He was a bit of a rockstar.
He was rough around the edges.
He was a fisherman his name was Simon.
Jesus spent three years disciple-ing Simon but lets look at the bible and meet Simon where he met Jesus.
when Simon met Jesus not only did he find salvation.
Jesus also called him the rock.
This was prophetic.
Jesus would spend the next three years discipling him into the rock.
This was the beginning.
It was just Point A
Yet in the last days Simon spent with Jesus; Jesus called him to lead the early church.
From point A to Point B
The New Testament records Simon Peter to be the the rash impulsive disciple who on one hand has enough faith to walk on water and on the other cuts of the temple guards man’s ear.
Simon Peter boldly proclaimed Jesus as messiah, yet sometimes didn’t quite get the Savior’s message.
Simon Peter began as a simple fisherman but Simon Peter became a leader in the early church.
Sometimes I think we forget that
Discipleship is a Process.
It is the journey in between salvation and heaven.
Discipleship is a process.
It is the steps between point A and point B. Discipleship is a Process. it is the growth that occurs while you move from the milk to the meat.
Discipleship is a Process that works in our lives moving us from Salvation to Glorification.
Discipleship is moving from Point A in your walk with the Lord to Point B.
How did Jesus guide Peter from rockstar to “the rock”?
What did it take to grow the most impulsive, hard-headed of all disciples into an apostle who would lead the early church into exponential growth?
What steps did Jesus Use?
When Jesus called Peter and the other disciples it was a call to be DISCIPLES.
It was a call to be learners .
As Peter journeyed with the other disciples Peter learned about the kingdom of God.
Disciple means Learner
One way that Peter learned is through Jesus’ teaching.
Jesus Taught Peter.
Jesus taught Peter
The Gospel of John records times when Jesus taught with sermons.
but this was only one way Jesus discipled peter.
Jesus was a master of the spoken Jesus knew relying solely would be like training doctors only in the class room.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a heart surgeon touching me with out some experience.
Learning via teaching was one step in Peter’s discipleship.
Another step in Peter’s journey was observation.
Peter observed Jesus.
Peter observed Jesus
In just the book of John; Peter observed Jesus turn water into wine, cleanse the temple, heal the sick the blind and the lame.
Peter saw Jesus feed the 5000 and pick up the pieces.
Peter was on the boat when Jesus instantly transported it to the shore.
Peter endured when people picked up rocks to stone christ.
He was there when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.
Peter walked through life with Jesus for three years.
These were a few of the events that Peter experienced with Jesus.
Walking this Journey with Jesus as awesome as it it must have been was only a part of Peter’s discipleship.
Observing Jesus was a way that Peter moved from being a rockstar toward being the rock.
Time
After all moving through time is a normal part of life.
How many of you are getting older?
Time waits for no man.
One time one of the boys asked me dad how old are you going to be on your birthday?
I told him 29.
He said “Dad you can’t be 29 every year.”
He’s right the clock keeps ticking and the seasons change.
In the Greek Language this kind of time was called chronos.
Chronos, we get our english word Chronological from it.
chronos describes a progression of time.
chronos is time moving forward.
Moving from A to B.
There is another word in the Greek Language for time kairos.
Do you remember the day you met your spouse?
Have you ever been on a family vacation?
Do you remember where you were when you had an argument with a co-worker?
Where were you when you heard about the events of September 11, 2001?
kairos describes an event in time.
Kairos is when God shows up and connects the dots.
You learn about the kingdom.
Kairos moments can be recognised by the impact they leave on you.
