| LESSON 9 | *February 23 - 29 |
| Following the Master:
Discipleship in Action |  |
Read for This Week's Study:
Memory Text:
| | "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mark 8:35-37, NKJV). |
| | This week's lesson calls us to contemplate what is involved in discipleship. We want to look at discipleship in action. God has called us, but each must discern that call and follow its leadings. Thomas Cameron tells of a famous preacher who said he would have loved "to have blown the bellows for Handel, to have picked up the fallen brush for Michelangelo, to have held the spy-glass for Christopher Columbus, or to have carried Shakespeare's bag. If men count it an honour to do some humble service for the world's great heroes, what distinction lay in the opportunity of serving the Savior of men?"—A. Gordon Nasby, ed., Treasury of the Christian World, p. 327. |
This Week at a Glance:
| | What should be our motivation for service as disciples? What kind of opposition should we expect? What promises do we have as we embark on the work of discipleship? |
