Follow Me in Your Heart
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus hits some tough topics. The divide between what people had heard and what Jesus was teaching, were issues of the heart. In fact, from the heart comes anger which can lead to murder, and lust which can lead to adultery and divorce. Talk about tough topics. In this sermon we see how Jesus points to the real root of the problem, which is the heart.

Follow Me in Seeing Things like Jesus
Jesus lived under the old law, the one given on Sinai and agreed to by Israel. As a result, He kept the law along with its rules and cultural customs. However, Jesus came to point us to a better way. He did not come to remove the law with violence, hate, or anger, but to fulfill it by His perfect sacrifice. Jesus has ended the old law and brought in a new covenant which we can be part of. Are we seeing things like Jesus?

Follow Me in Your Attitude
It is one thing to DO what God asks us to do, it is an entirely different thing to do what God asks us to do while having a good attitude. The beginning of the Sermon on the Mount shows us the attitude God calls us to have towards a variety of situations. Is my attitude where it needs to be, or do I need to change?

Follow Me in Diversity
From many disciples whom followed Jesus, He called 12 specifically to be Apostles. These 12 were very different and diverse, yet they were expected to get along and work together. Today the church should be diverse and is also expected to get along. What can we learn from Jesus calling and naming the 12 Apostles? Watch to learn more!

Follow Me in Doing Good
Many tried to trap Jesus in His words, actions or methods. In Mark chapters 2 and 3 the "Sabbath" controversy was at its highest level. Many had placed keeping the Sabbath above doing good to others. Jesus reminds them that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. In essence, what good does it do to keep the Sabbath, but not do good to those around you when you have the opportunity. We have to have the right teachings to follow, obey and keep, but we ALSO have to have the right heart in our service towards God

Called to Follow
Peter and others were called to follow Jesus. This wasn't the first time they had seen Jesus perform miracles or the first time they had heard him teach. But, this was the first time they completely left all to follow Him. Jesus calls to us to follow Him. Will we follow? What holds us back from following? Is it work? Friends? Family? Fear?

Follow Me: I'll Show You the Way
If you were to try to get somewhere you had never been, how would you do it? Ok, I mean without using Siri or Google Maps? If you were searching for heaven, how would you find your way there? Wouldn't you want to know how to get there from someone who had been there? Jesus is from heaven, came to this earth, and is now back in heaven seated at the right hand of God. He can show us the way!

Follow Me
One of the greatest invitations and the most challenging in Scripture is when Jesus calls His disciples to follow Him. Today, if you are His disciple, you are encouraged to keep following. If you are not a disciple (a word which simply means, "follower"), then Jesus calls to you to follow Him. How will you respond? How will you react?
