The Disciple:

Empowered By The Word

Matthew 28: 18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Scripture – Luke 4

• 16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. 17The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him.

passion builds.• Passion from scripture and right relationship

with Jesus will energize us when all else is not working.

• Right decisions lead you into His specific will for your life.

Separation

• Luke 20  23He saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24"Show me a denarius. Whose portrait and inscription are on it?"

•  25"Caesar's," they replied.       He said to them, "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."       

Page 21: Scripture in Life - Word Empowered Disciples

Scriptural Living is Different• We are not called in Christ to be

normal humans. • He wants us to think and act different

than the world.• We are in the world, doing what the

world needs done. But we are not of the world. We must change our thoughts to a higher order.
