Matthew 4:18-20

1)

not Stoic
A. Sitting is a part of sanctification
• Mark 5: 15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
a. I’m concerned we have people trying to help that have never been healed!
B. Sitting in our most difficult hour
• Matthew 26:36 Jesus told the disciples to sit down while I go over here and pray
a. we need to learn to sit when we are troubled!
C. We learn best at his feet seated
• Luke 10:39-40 Mary sat down at Jesus ft and heard his word
a. We learn best when we’re seated at his feet!


2) don’t magnify
A. Every Disciple has a choice they can multiply or die
• Genesis 1:28 and God blessed them. And said to them, be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth!
B. The enemy of your soul does not want you to learn to multiply he wants you to spend time trying to magnify yourself, build yourself only
• Exodus 1:10 let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and if war breaks out they join our enemies and fight against us and escape the land


3) not apathy
A. One day the eastern skies are going to Split ! Jesus is coming back for his church without SPOT or WRIKLE and we must be in him
• Isaiah 62:6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the Lord in remembrance, take no rest,

• 1 Thessalonians 5:2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night

Have you ever sat down with the master? Have you committed your life to him?
