MESSAGE NOTES: “The Paradox of Following Jesus”

Eric King, Executive Pastor


Matthew 16:24 (ESV)

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”

  1. Mathew 16:24-26

  2. “Following Jesus will be a paradox of intense

    that’s met with overflowing joy.”

  1. 1 Peter 2:21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

  1. Luke 6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

  2. Following Jesus is:
    a. A


    b. A Reorientation
    c. A

  3. Being in the proximity of Jesus is not sufficient to make us a disciple of Jesus.
  4. The Decision- Respond to the Call of Jesus

  5. The Reorientation
    a. Deny Self
    b. Take up His Cross

  6. Mark 10:45
  7. Philippians 2:5-8
  8. Luke 9:23
  9. 1 Cor 9:27
  10. Philippians 2:12-13
  11. The Destination: A “ ” more than a “where”

a. The Broken
i. The Untouchable
ii. The Unlovable
iii. The Unrelatable
15. The Destination: A “who” more than a “where”

b. The Family-
16. John 13:14-15, 35
17. The Destination: A “who” more than a “where”

c. The Nations
18. Mathew 28:18-20
19. The Paradox
a. The Discomfort: the way of Jesus
i. Willing to be

- Phil 2:5
ii. Willing to be - the leper
iii. Willing to be Defamed- Zacchaeus
iv. Willing to be : Samaritan woman
v. Willing to be Spent- the cross
b. The Joy: the of Jesus
i. He had Purpose

ii. He was Intentional
iii. He was Fulfilled



20. Reflection:

a. Are you in the crowd or are you a follower of Jesus?
b. Where are you today? Are in you a retreating isolation from the brokenness of the world either physically or mentally?
c. Who are your neighbors, the broken in need of Jesus?
d. How are you washing the feet of your spiritual family?
e. How’s your passion and involvement in seeing the nations know Jesus?
