SERMON 10042025

This week’s message comes with a WARNING: the way Jesus recruits and teaches his disciples changes the way we understand discipleship. Jesus intentionally seeks out the B-Team to be his disciples. He doesn’t seek out the up and coming students in the synagogues, instead he calls out to the fisherman, the day laborers who weren’t drafted by the charismatic leaders. If his B-Team of disciples can be transformed by following the example of Jesus, we cannot be excused from our own discipleship for some perceived lack of skills or experience or passion. God will use our B-Team skills and experience to make a difference in this world if we follow the example of Jesus when acting and reacting in our communities.
