  10. Quit The Brand!

  11. The Word “Christian” only appear three times in the whole Bible. • Acts 11:25-26 “Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the churchand taught great numbersof people. The discipleswere called Christiansfirst at Antioch.” [Cristiano/ß: one associated with Christ.] • First-century Christians didn’t call themselves Christians. Outsiders call them Christian, it was a derogatory term.

  12. The disciples were called Christians at Antioch. Acts 11:26 • So the word of God spread. The number of disciplesin Jerusalem increased rapidly. Acts 6:7 • In Joppa there was a disciplenamed Tabitha…she was always doing good and helping the poor. Acts 9:36 • Follower of Jesus was called a Disciple: mathetes: learner, pupil, apprentice, adherent, follower.

  13. The real question for each of us to ask is not, “Are we Christians?’” but, “Are we disciples?” So, What is a Disciple of Jesus? John 13 33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.”

  14. If you want to know what Jesus meant by what Jesus said, watch what Jesus did.

  15. "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:33-35

  16. Approximately 55 years after Jesus said that • 1 John 4 • 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

  17. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4: 9-10

  18. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. • 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4:11-12

  19. What if We Quit the “Christianity” Brandand decide that we’re going to be disciples ? Can you imagine what would happen in a city, in a community, in a culture, in family, in a neighborhood, in a world?
