As the crowds increased around Jesus, He intentionally drew closer to fewer people as He appointed twelve disciples to be His apostles. As Jesus called the original Twelve to specific tasks, He calls us to follow Him in the same way today.

It’s Always the Right Time to Do the Right Thing
Religious leaders opposed Jesus while He was doing good on the Sabbath day because it broke their manmade rules. The follower of Jesus must realize that it’s always the right time to do the right thing.
The Mission [Fuge 2018 North Greenville]
I had the privilege to serve as the camp pastor at the Fuge Combo Camp at North Greenville University on June 25-30, 2018. Â Here is the outline of the sermons I preached. Â Pray these notes drive you to reflect on the truths of God’s Word as it propels us to His mission!
Jesus Doesn’t Fit Into Your Box
The religious leaders of the day became increasingly frustrated because Jesus didn’t minister in the way they deemed appropriate. We must stop trying to fit Jesus into our religious boxes and realize that He came to do something new.
Open Your Home for Ministry
As Jesus gathered disciples, He befriended sinners in home settings. Â Acknowledging the needs of those around us, we should open our homes and open our hearts to minister to those in close proximity to us.
We Need Forgiveness More Than Healing
When Jesus forgave a man who came looking for healing, He revealed our need and His authority.  As we attempt to bring people to Jesus, we must seek to address their greatest need – their need for forgiveness.
Jesus Isn’t Afraid of Your Mess
Moved with pity, Jesus touched and cleansed a leper who lived on the fringes of society. With the needs around us, we must be willing to place ourselves into messy situations in order to see redemption in others.
Early Riser
Jesus prioritized time with His Father early in the morning to prepare for the day’s assignments.  If we are to follow His example, we must carve out intentional time for spiritual growth.
Ministry Can Happen Anywhere
Jesus ministered at religious gatherings and at relational gatherings. If we understand the power of God, we will live in such a way that acknowledges that ministry cannot be hindered by a time, place, or situation.
Jesus Uses Ordinary People
Jesus called ordinary men to follow Him into an extraordinary work. As disciples of Jesus, we must also redefine our purpose to become fishers of men and join Him in His work to reach others.
