The Call to Follow Jesus

Kenny Benge preached a sermon entitled “The Call to Follow Jesus” based on Matthew 4:12-23 on January 22, 2011. 

The call to discipleship is the particular form of the summons by which Jesus discloses and reveals Himself to a [person] in order to claim and sanctify him as His own, and as His witness to the world.  The details of this call may only be described particularly, a concretely filled out happening between Jesus and the particular person.
