Matthew 16:13-16 NKJV
“When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.””
 
A disciple is:
One who follows the teachings of another. 
One who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrine of another.

NWLA Church | Disciple (1)

A Disciple:
ABIDES in the words of Jesus (accept or act in accordance with (a rule, decision, or recommendation).
LOVES other Believers/Disciples
AIMS to become a friend of Jesus. 
 
Internal definition - how can you examine your life to see if you’re a disciple?
John 8:31-32
31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
 
NLT
31 Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings.
 
NIV
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
 
MSG 
Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. “If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. 
 
 
 
External definition - How should we show the world around us that we are Disciples?
John 13:34-35
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
 
This is where we are going with this series. 
The ultimate goal of the Disciple - is to be His friend. A friend of Jesus. 
John 15:12-15
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants,[a] for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

Romans 8:14-16
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
 
The Spirit Himself - testifies with our Spirit.
 
“There is nothing attractive about the Gospel to the natural man; the only man who finds the Gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.” - Oswald Chambers
 
Sharing the Gospel is the result of your dialogue with the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:29 ESV
29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
 
4:29 MSG
29 Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.
 
4:29 NLT
29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
 
 
We must listen to the Holy Spirit, so that we may speak with Holiness.

Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
 
Essentially, the entirety of where we’re trying to say is this:  
Not that we would be perfect in our speech, but that we would at the very least recognize that God ultimately pays attention to and cares about what we say, how we say it, why we say it and who we’re saying it to.
 
Whatever controls your tongue, controls your life. 

NWLA Church | CrossTalk (1)

God pays attention to and cares about what we say, how we say it, why we say it and who we’re saying it to.
 
Matthew 12:33-37
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

NWLA Church| Easter 2022

John‬ ‭20:19-23‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. 20 As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord! 21 Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” 22 Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.””

NWLA Church |4.10.22 ”The Arrival”

Pastor Jeremy Ballon 
"The Arrival" - Palm Sunday 
 
The Arrival
Luke 19:28-40 After telling this story, Jesus went on toward Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples. 29 As he came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead. 30 “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying that colt?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’” 32 So they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said. 33 And sure enough, as they were untying it, the owners asked them, “Why are you untying that colt?” 34 And the disciples simply replied, “The Lord needs it.” 35 So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on. 36 As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. 37 When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen. 38  “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!    Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!” 39 But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!” 40 He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
