Matthew 16:24-28 – How to be a Disciple
Introduction
We are fallen, which means that, on this side of Adam and Eve’s transgression, we will sin. But it also means that we will just flat out get stuff wrong. Mistakes will be made, errors endured, failures felt. It just so happens that, whether a simple error or a sinful transgression, mistakes are wonderful opportunities to learn from. Peter has made a terrific blunder, but the Lord, in his kindness, never overlooks a good opportunity. He will use Peter’s sinful outburst as a chance to teach what true discipleship looks like, for Peter’s sake and ours.
1. A disciple must know their place
2. A disciple must conform their passions
3. A disciple must live in public
4. A disciple must lean into the premise
5. A disciple must trust in the promise
