How Do I Follow? Seeds, Weeds and Sabotage

Faith, the size of a tiny mustard seed is all that’s needed to start down the road with Jesus. But following Jesus is neither easy nor is it popular. Truth is, it’s counter-cultural. Because Jesus is the ultimate disciple-maker, I’m going to get us going by using a story, a parable, that Jesus used to explain what you need to do if you want to go the Kingdom of God way, the Jesus way, in a world that’s still waiting for him to return and is still full of all kinds of human kingdoms ruled by the prince of this world, the Satan. This is the world that disciples live in—a world full of rocks and weeds and sabotage. Disciples get this and they train for it. They get who Satan is and how he operates. They know he’s out to sabotage God’s plans. And they know how to take a stand.
