I. Introduction –

Why would Peter, Andrew, James, and John simply leave their work and family to follow Jesus? John’s gospel fills in the picture.

II. The witness of John the Baptist –

someone first told them about Jesus

III. They spent time investigating –

they went to see for themselves

IV. They were invited

V. Conclusion –

This is how people become disciples: when we point them to Jesus, help them to learn, then invite them to follow. First we must be disciples ourselves by learning and following.
