DISCIPLE_μαθητής \\ Week 4 \\ November 08, 2026

In this sermon, Pastor Travis continues a series on discipleship, focusing on the Greek word 'mathetes,' which means disciple, student, or apprentice. He emphasizes that Jesus never used the word 'Christian' but called people to be his disciples. The sermon reviews five moves of discipleship: vision, intention, team, gospels, and practice. Vision is the starting point—a vision of Jesus as the treasure hidden in a field or the pearl of great price, for which one joyfully sells everything. This vision births intention, as seen in Matthew the tax collector, who immediately got up to follow Jesus. Discipleship is not a solo sport but a team sport, where two or three gather in Jesus' name with the purpose of becoming like him. The group then familiarizes themselves with Jesus through the Gospels, learning from him as their rabbi. Finally, disciples must try to put Jesus' words into practice, building their lives on the rock. Travis challenges listeners to identify the one thing their rabbi is working on with them right now.
