In Garrett Bookout's engaging Bible Class Series on Discipleship, participants delve into the heart of what it means to follow Jesus authentically, anchored by four pivotal biblical passages that illuminate the essence of Christian commitment. Beginning with Matthew 28:18-20, the Great Commission, Bookout unpacks Jesus' authoritative command to go forth and make disciples, baptizing and teaching obedience to all He has instructed, setting the stage for global mission. He then contrasts this with Matthew 10:24-25, where Jesus reminds followers that a disciple's goal is to become like their master, enduring the same hardships and sharing in the master's reputation—neither greater nor lesser. The series intensifies with Luke 14:25-35, a stark warning to count the cost of discipleship, likening it to building a tower or waging war without half-hearted resolve, demanding renunciation of family, self, and even life itself for the Kingdom's sake. Finally, turning to Acts 2:36-47, Bookout vividly portrays the early church's vibrant response—Peter's bold proclamation of repentance, leading to baptism, communal living, and joyful fellowship marked by teaching, breaking bread, and prayer—offering a blueprint for modern believers to cultivate devoted communities. Through interactive discussions, practical applications, and Bookout's passionate teaching, this series empowers Christians to move beyond superficial faith into lives of radical obedience, deep relationships, and infectious witness, inspiring lasting spiritual growth.
