The Summit Church Little Rock

Following with Family

Jesus called us into a community of followers. We are not alone. Jesus modeled this by living in relationships represented in concentric circles (the inner 3, the 12, the 72, and the crowd).

Following The Father's Voice

Jesus spent time alone with the Father and “only did what the Father did.” So how do we follow? In this message we look at the rhythms of Jesus' life and how we can structure our lives in a way to do what He did.

Followers Not Fans

The call to be a disciple is the call to be with Jesus. He called us to follow Him. This has much deeper meaning than we typically realize. The term “disciple” is probably more akin to “apprentice” than we realize. The call to follow is not just a call to agree that Jesus is Lord, but to surrender our way to His way. Being a Christian is following the Jesus Way.

Suffering As An Exile

Following Jesus will result in hostility from outsiders. Peter starts this section with “Who would want to harm you for doing good?” The answer is, more and more people as the world grows darker. So he encourages us, when we suffer, we can remember that Christ also suffered. We must also remember that Christ is King and He has not lost control.
