📖 Kingdom Come Part 9: Jesus doesn’t just save you—He calls you.

In this Deep Dive through Kingdom Come: Episode 9, Pastor Tim unpacks what it means to follow Christ, leave behind the old life, and allow Him to produce lasting spiritual fruit through you. Whether you’re blue-collar or a business owner, a student or stay-at-home parent—God calls the willing, not the perfect. 🔑 Application for Today:

Respond Decisively to Jesus’ Call
- Is there an area in your life where Jesus is saying, “Follow Me”—but you’re hesitant?
- Pray for courage to surrender fully and say “yes” today.
Reframe Your Career as a Calling
- Whether you’re a teacher, tech worker, business owner, parent, or student—ask:
  
  How can my skills be used to make disciples?
- Consider volunteering, mentoring, giving, or leading in ways that align with your strengths.
Make Room for Real Community
- Listening to sermons alone isn’t enough. Join a small group, attend church regularly, and walk with others toward Christ.
Seek Spiritual Fruit, Not Just Activity
- Examine: Am I more loving? Joyful? Peaceful?
- Fruitfulness isn’t measured in busyness, but in transformation by the Spirit.
Embrace the Ministry of Healing and Wholeness
- Do you need healing—physically, emotionally, or spiritually?
- Don’t isolate. Reach out for prayer. The Kingdom of God is near—and Jesus still heals.
Stand Boldly for the Gospel
- Stop apologizing for your faith. You are the mail carrier, not the author.
- Share the good news confidently: Jesus changes lives.

📖 Key Takeaways:

1. Discipleship Begins with Jesus’ Initiative
  - Jesus calls the disciples; they do not seek Him first.
  - True discipleship starts when Jesus takes hold of your heart—and you respond decisively.
2. Following Jesus Requires a Reordered Life
  - The disciples “left their nets immediately”—symbolizing a realignment of priorities.
  - Discipleship means Jesus becomes your first allegiance, above work, family, or comfort.
3. God Uses the Willing, Not Just the Qualified
  - Jesus calls ordinary, hardworking men—not religious elites—to launch a global movement.
  - Your skills, background, and career can be repurposed for Kingdom impact.
4. Discipleship Happens in Community
  - Jesus calls two sets of brothers—a reminder that we grow in fellowship, not isolation.
  - Spiritual maturity requires church family, accountability, and walking with others.
5. True Fruitfulness Comes from Abiding
  - A fruitful Christian life is not about trying harder, but trusting deeper.
  - The Holy Spirit produces the fruit; your role is to stay connected to Jesus.
6. The Gospel Is More Than Words—it’s Power
  - Jesus taught, healed, and cast out demons—demonstrating the inbreaking of God’s Kingdom.
  - The Gospel transforms lives here and now as a foretaste of the eternal Kingdom to come.

🔍 Matthew’s Background & Purpose

Matthew (Levi) was a tax collector, despised by fellow Jews but chosen by Jesus.
His name means “Gift of God” or “Gift of Jehovah.”
He references the Old Testament over 100 times, writing primarily to a Jewish audience to prove Jesus as the Messiah.
He is one of twelve people in history who walked with God in the flesh, observing His miracles and teachings firsthand.
