Influence people to Jesus

Time=Influence

Who are you letting influenceYou?

Who needs to have the most influencein your life?

THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST

Luke 6:46- Is Jesus Lord of your life?Every follower of Jesus must submit to His Lordship in their life.

Peter’s example-1.) John 1:40-42- First encounter with Jesus

Peter’s 1st response= He followed Jesus2.)Mt. 4:18-20- Second encounter with Jesus

Peter’s 2nd response= Left his nets and followed Jesus3.)Luke 5:1-11- Third encounter with Jesus

Peter’s 3rd response (THE DECISIVE POINT)= Called Jesus Lord, left everything and followed Jesus

Conclusion: John 21:1-3- Peter wasn’t following Jesus again!John 21:19-22, John 12:26- You MUST FOLLOW JESUS!

It’s a process!Have you called Jesus Lord?Are you following Jesus?

TEMPTATION

What is something that every person struggles with?TEMPTATION- Matthew 18:7-

How did Jesus combat temptation?Matthew 4:1-11- By the Word1.) Key verses-3-4

Deut. 8:32.) Key verses-5-7

Deut. 6:163.) Key verses-8-10

Deut. 6:13Mark 14:38- By Prayer

LIFE DEATH

Application:1.) Scripture Memory-Ps. 119:9, 112.) Accountability- Gal. 6:13.) Avoid an ambush- 2 Tim. 2:224.) Bank on the promises of God- 1 Cor. 10:13

Gen. 4:7 The first teaching on sin

Tempted/Desire/Sin=

Point of temptation- You can choose Life or Death

THE CALL TO FOLLOW

Big Picture- A world at war (Not conventional) Ephesians 6:12- Spiritual warfare

1.) Two Kingdoms- Luke 4:5-8-Satan tests Jesus’ commitment to the Father-Already given to Jesus- Psalms 2:1-91.) Kingdom of God (Allies)2.) Kingdom of Satan (Axis)

What are wars generally fought over? Land This war is different…

2.) Spiritual Battle Field- Luke 11:21-221.) Strong= Satan 2.) Stronger= Son of God3.) Spoils= Souls of men

Jesus and Satan are fighting over the souls of men and women.

3.) The Key Battle- Matthew 4:18-20- “Follow Me”1.) Spend time with Jesus= QT2.) Learn from Jesus= Mentor, Fellowship3.) Become like Jesus= Become a fisher of men

Are you following Jesus in these 3 areas?

Introduction: Generally speaking, when the book of Revelation is brought up, what is the first thought? End times! I agree that Revelation does discuss the end times, but I think we overlook something very important in the first three chapters of the book.
