977A: They Left Everything (Part 1)
How did Jesus draw men who would leave everything they had to follow Him? In this lesson we will look at how Jesus drew a crowd, how He designed His facilities, how He developed a ministry and how He defined discipleship. The church of today needs to look at the example of Jesus instead of man's techniques and man's technology as the basis for growth. If we lift up the Word of God and teach it without apology, without compromise, without retreating, but with compassion and love, the crowds God wants us to teach will come.
