Disciple: Want and See Jesus
Disciple: Want and See Jesus
Speaker: Pastor Tim Matthews
Date: September 26, 2020
Today as we look across the landscape of Western culture, is it possible that we have an incomplete view of what it means to truly “follow Jesus?” DISCIPLE will define and distinguish the difference what it means to be a disciple of Jesus vs. a casual Christian and help each of us find the road forward as a disciple.
In Week 3 of DISCIPLE, Pastor Tim Matthews delivers his first sermon at Radiant Church and speaks on the need to want to be more like Jesus. If Jesus came up to you and asked what you wanted, what would your answer be? Don't miss this electrifying word from our church-wide series!

Sermon Highlights
If Jesus came up and asked us what we want, our answer needs to be WE WANT YOU.
If Jesus didn’t reject you then, He won’t reject you now.
You won’t become like Jesus if you don’t like Jesus.
God transforms our hearts so that we can love Him and walk according to His ways.
God sanctifies, trains, redeems, and purifies, so that we can be blameless when we stand before Him.
It takes God to love God.
When you pray, “God help me love you more,” He’s up in heaven saying, I’m already doing it.
The church is not only the bride of Christ, but it is also the BODY of Christ.
When God said IT IS FINISHED, it didn’t mean that HE IS FINISHED moving and working in our lives.
