Everyday Heroes - Part 3 of 7

July 25, 2021 | Max Calderon| max@heavensentjanitorial.com

1. How they come is IRRELEVANT, it’s about what they BECOME.

Later, as Jesus left the town, he saw a tax collector named Levi sitting

at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said

to him.  28  So Levi got up, left everything, and followed him.

– Luke: 5:27-28

2. Don’t allow possessions or positions to POSSESS you

Later, Levi held a banquet in his home with Jesus as the guest of

honor. Many of Levi’s fellow tax collectors and other guests also ate

with them.  – Luke 5:29

3. Always be ready to give a PUBLIC testimony of your faith

  • Publicly gets up from his booth to follow Jesus

  • Throws a party for Jesus and invited all his friends

  • Wrote a whole book, the gospel of Matthew

But the Pharisees and their teachers of religious law complained

bitterly to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with such scum?”

– Luke 5:30  

4. Expect resistance…no worries, Jesus’ GOT YOUR back

Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick

people do. – Luke 5:31

5. Get used to DIFFERENT

I have not come to call those who think they are righteous, but those

who know they are sinners and need to repent. – Luke 5:32

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

– Matthew 5:3 (NIV)
