Disciple: A learner, A Pupil: One who follows another’s teaching and ways.

Scripture : A Disciple is one who confesses Jesus as Lord and follows Him and His ways!

The Life of Peter: The Life of a Follower!

The Introduction: What God Calls You!

Principles of Discipleship!

1. Believe what God says about You, about Your Future!

2. Do What God Says even if it doesn’t Make Sense!

3. Confess With Your Mouth Jesus As Lord!

4. Know that Perils and Trials Come!

5. When You fall, confess it, repent, get up and keep Going! You have not fallen off the narrow road!

6. Know That God’s Call and Gifts Are to Be given Away! Feed My Sheep!
