Afraid of Jesus?
I‟d like to suggest to you that we don‟t often think of being afraid of Jesus, but we really should because for many people in the Bible an encounter with Jesus created fear – and rightly so. We get a clear taste of this in Matthew 8:28-9:8. Jesus does a lot of good in this passage, but none of it is safe. In fact, Jesus‟ actions make many people afraid, and I‟d like to see why. There are three different reasons why people are afraid of Jesus, and I hope to show you that if you don’t know Jesus then you have reason to be afraid.

Full-throttle Following
Our text this morning introduces us to another and very important subject: discipleship. Now the word discipleship begs a number of questions. What does it mean to follow Jesus? Who is a true follower? What do real disciples look like? What does discipleship involve? What does it cost?

Who do I follow?
Who do you follow? We only spend a small percentage of our time 'in church." So what about the rest of the time? Following Jesus is a 24/7 thing! What you do outside of your "church time" says more about who you are and WHO you serve than when you may be at church. So, think about it again...Who do you follow?

The Great (Sales) Commission
Many Christians avoid participating in the Great Commission because it seems very much like a sales job. But is the Great Commission really about sales? Or, has our programmatic approach to Christianity caused us to misunderstand it? Key verses: Matt 28:18ff; Rom 1:1; Acts 16:7ff; 2Cor 1:3-7; 1Pet 3:8-15

A Leap Of Faith to Follow Jesus No Matter what
This life is full of surprises. We never know what is around the next corner. Are you following Christ no matter what happens in your life? Many of us live a roller coaster. We go up and down as life takes us. God is calling us to follow him no matter what. Do you follow him when no one else is around? Paul and Silas sang in prison, Daniel never wavered in the midst of the trials he faced. Are you willing to follow Jesus through the valleys of this life? No matter how severe these trials, temptations and valleys are they can not separate us from his love. Are you willing to follow Christ no matter what?

Sacred Life: Titus 1.5-6
In Paul's letter written to Titus one sees life. In fact, a sacred and holy life for a different kind of people, the church. The mission of the church is to be about making things right in a world that is wrong. Things need to be set in order. This week Paul tells Titus to start at the top. Leadership is everything. With Christ as the head leadership is crucial to the church. We need godly influence in the church. This week we will see what that influence is to look like. We all need this model and must follow it.
