Introduction (10% 4-minutes)
Why do people slander and defame Jesus?
Because:
2 Peter 2:
“At a prestigious medical school, some of the students were quietly grumbling about required courses that were unrelated to their field.
As one student became particularly frustrated, he also became increasingly bold.
With the support of his fellow students, he challenged the curriculum requirements, asking one of his medical professors, “Why do we have to take courses like physics that have nothing to do with our field of study?”
The professor, not suprprised by the inquiry, calmly responded, “Because the study of physics saves lives.”
The young student balked at the absurdity of the professor’s claim: “That’s ridiculous!
How does studying physics save lives?”
With a sly grin, the professor patiently replied, “Because studying physics ensures that lazy and ignorant people cannot become doctors.””

This morning we are focusing in on the mind of a disciple.
What a disciple knows, remembers, and learns.
We are in a season right now as a church where we are learning what it means to be a disciple - a follower of Jesus becoming more like him; and what it means to disciple others - leading others to become more like him.
Our prayer is that this will spill over into an atmosphere of discipleship in this church that spills out into evangelistic opportunity and discipleship in our community.
How do you know Jesus?
How do you know for sure that when you die you will go to heaven?
How do you know for sure right now that you are saved?
How do you know..
Well one day two brothers were fishing when a man named Jesus walked up to them and said “follow me”.
They immediately left their nets and followed him.

A Disciple must know how to live a godly life.
2 Peter 1:
It’s HIS divine power, not ours.
Life and godliness does not exist apart from Christ.
A disciple is to know LIFE, not death; GODLINESS, not sinfulness.
Its not a faith in me, Peter says, it’s not a faith in other people, it’s a faith in Jesus.
And by the way - watch out for those who say there is any other way than Jesus.
Don’t let anyone tell you that there is anything required for life other than this.
But that is the essence of discipleship, showing people what life is.
This was Peter’s exact reply when he performed the first recorded miracle after pentecost, after Jesus ascended to heaven, Peter healed a lame man, and people went nuts and thought Peter did it.
