We’re to Follow JesusWe’re to Follow Jesus

• We have a spiritual journey to travel, it’s the path that Jesus paved. Jesus is leading the way. 1 Peter 2:21; Luke 9:23

• We need to look at our E.T.A., not estimated time of arrival, but using that as an acronym for help on our trip to where God wants to take us.

Expect Distractions• When you begin this journey with God you

are going to discover there are distractions

all around. Matthew 4:1-11; 1 Pet. 2:23, 25Matthew 4:1-11; 1 Pet. 2:23, 25

• Distractions begin in two areas:

– Without: Mark 4:19; Hebrews 12:2-3Mark 4:19; Hebrews 12:2-3

– Within: Luke 10:40-41; Luke 9:57-62 Luke 10:40-41; Luke 9:57-62

We must seize the moment!

Matthew 4:20Matthew 4:20
