What is discipleship to Jesus? What happens when someone gets chosen and called by Jesus into discipleship? In this passage in Mark, Jesus calls his first disciples, the 12 men he'll spend 3 years sharing life with and preparing for ministry. When Jesus calls disciples, he gives them a new and secure identity - they are "with him." At the same time, he calls disciples to himself so that he can "send them" to continue his work. Jesus later says, "Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing." In this sermon, we look at what it means for us to be called to be "with Jesus" and then sent by Jesus into our city together.
