Title: The Right Direction (1 of 8)
Series: The Road Less Traveled
Author:Jerry Watts
Text: Matthew 4:19, Matthew 13:1-9
IN 1916, Robert Frost published the poem, "The Road Not Taken." This is a familiar work where the speaker gives a choice between two diverging paths in a forest, and he chooses the one 'less traveled.' The actual verbiage is, "I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.."
Every time I think about the concept of 'disciple-discipleship-disciplemaker' my mind runs to these words because, for better or worse - one reason or another, this path which Jesus calls us to. So today, we begin talking about "the road less traveled."
Over the next 9 weeks, each of us will be called to respond to the one who loves you more than you love yourself, the one who loves you so much that He left heaven to come to earth and die the death of a wicked person for you. The one who calls you to the "Road Less Traveled," (THE FORGE) I'll invite you to travel this road together.

This call of Jesus is not only to us and for us, but it is the most natural, normal, untaught and even misunderstood, teaching and truth of Jesus.

Let's blow up the picture on the screen so we can visualize this. The road to the left has been highly traveled, but the road to the right gets less discernable the further you go. This is because so few people have traveled it. That is the road we are talking about,and it is a road that is largely indiscernible because in recent times, because it has been walked so infrequently.
Jesus' words in Matthew 4:19 coupled with Matt 13:1-9 tells us much and speaks our language. Let's read our text. (READ) PRAY. Ve ...
