The Making of a Disciple
Matthew 4:18-22

• When recruiting someone for a job or task, we are taught to look for experience and qualifications.

• According to the customs of discipleship at the time of Jesus, the individuals Jesus chose would have actually been rejects.

• When God recruits someone for a task, He looks at the heart, rather than experience and qualifications (1Sam 16:6-7)

• Once God calls you to a task, He will also empower you to accomplish it (Matt 10:1,2 Timothy 1:6)

• Being empowered by God does not mean that you will not go through a time of preparation
