1. MINDSET OF A DISCIPLE LUKE 5:1-11

2. …BUT AT THY WORD I WILL…  In letting down the net:  Peter voices doubt, but was willing to follow the Lord’s word – Luke 5:5  In laying down the net:  Peter doubts himself when he sees the results, recognizing his sinful state in the presence of the authority of the Lord – v. 6-8  But he and his partners were willing to leave all when the Lord called them – v. 9-11  Peter showed the mindset of a disciple. It was enough for him that the Lord told him to do something, even if he didn’t think it would work.

4. WILLING TO DO LORD’S WILL? – IN BEING HIS DISCIPLE  Laying up treasure in heaven instead of here? – Luke 12:15-21  Seeking His kingdom before other concerns – Luke 12:29-34  Do we trust the Lord, as Peter did, or do we trust our judgment and experience?

5. WILLING TO DO LORD’S WILL? – IN BEING HIS DISCIPLE  Worshipping Him as His inspired apostles specified?  Singing with our heart as the only instrument? – Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16  Men exclusively in public worship roles? – 1 Cor. 14:34-35  Observing the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week? Acts 20:7  Do we trust the Lord and His pattern or do we want to do things our own way?
