Week 1 - Red Letters: Follow Me

Jesus’ call to discipleship begins with a simple invitation to “come and see” but ultimately leads to the life-changing challenge to “come and die.” Discover what it really means to move from curiosity to full surrender in following Jesus.

IMPACT CARD

Passage: Matthew 4:18-22

Discussion Questions:

1) What do you think it means to “come and see” Jesus in today’s world? How can we as a church make it easier for people who are curious about faith to take that first step?

2) What “nets” might Jesus be asking you to leave behind right now? Why do you think so many people stop at “come and see” instead of moving toward “follow me”?

3) Jesus’ final call is to “take up your cross daily.” What does “dying to self” actually look like in your day-to-day life? How have you experienced new life, joy, or peace on the other side of surrender?

4) “It’s going to cost you to follow Jesus, but not as much as it will cost you to not follow Him.” In what ways have you seen that truth play out personally or in others’ lives?

5) Jesus didn’t call just one disciple; He called them together. How has following Jesus in community strengthened your faith? What can you do to help someone else move from “come and see” to “follow me”?
