September 04, 2024 • Josh Landen,

Sermon: What is a Disciple of Jesus Christ?
Series: Christ Church Memphis Mission Statement Series
Scripture: Luke 9:23-37
Teacher: Josh Landen

Does Jesus want us to be fans or disciples? True discipleship involves more than just learning about Jesus; it requires embodying His love and teachings daily. Drawing from John 8 and the Last Supper discourse, men's ministry pastor Josh Landen illustrates how discipleship is marked by unwavering commitment and sacrificial love, reflecting Christ’s self-emptying love for us.

Throughout the message, Josh calls us to examine our lives and identify what we need to surrender to Christ. He reminds us that being a disciple means prioritizing our relationship with Jesus above all else, even when it challenges our comfort and ambitions. This episode is a powerful reminder of the radical nature of discipleship and the transformative impact of living fully for Christ.
