Real faith is not merely saying the right words, praying a prayer, or attending church occasionally. Real faith produces real evidence because it comes from a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. In Matthew 4:18–22, Jesus calls his first disciples with the simple command, “Follow me,” showing that true discipleship involves both action and direction. To follow Jesus means obeying what he says, listening to his Word, and loving him above everything else. While Christians will never obey perfectly, there is a real difference between imperfect obedience and no desire to obey at all. This sermon challenges us to get into the Word of God, search our lives for idols, and intentionally seek to honor Jesus in every area of life.
Your best life is lived in Jesus’ shadow, following after him.
