Following Jesus: The Call to Discipleship
Explore the calling of the first disciples in Luke 5:1–11 and learn to respond by leaving all behind to follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
📖 Introduction
Welcome to this 7-day journey through the calling of the first disciples, based on Luke 5:1–11. In the Gospels, Jesus' invitation to follow Him was radical and transformational. It wasn't just about a change in career or lifestyle but a deep, wholehearted commitment to His mission. This study will guide you through what it means to leave behind your old life—your comfort zone, security, and familiar routines—to wholeheartedly pursue Jesus.
In Luke 5:1–11, Jesus calls fishermen Simon Peter, James, and John to follow Him and become "fishers of men." Their immediate response, leaving everything behind, challenges us to consider the sacrifices and trust it takes to follow Christ. What does it truly mean for us today to respond to Jesus' call? Throughout this week, we will unpack the heart of discipleship, learning from Scripture and reflecting on how to apply these lessons in our own lives.
Each day includes a key Scripture, supporting verses to deepen your understanding, an encouraging devotional, reflection questions to ponder, journaling prompts, and a prayer to align your heart with God’s call. Whether you are new to following Jesus or seeking renewal in your walk with Him, these studies will inspire and equip you to leave behind anything that hinders your faith journey.
As you engage, consider how Jesus sees and calls you personally. His invitation remains the same: "Follow me." Are you ready to say yes, as the first disciples did, and step into a life transformed by God’s grace and purpose? Let's begin this exciting journey together!
