Our True Pursuit
“What do you seek?” We ought to ask ourselves this question Jesus asks at the outset of His ministry (John 1:38). Our choices show us what we truly pursue.

Intimacy with Christ results in activity in the world, not the other way around. In order to do things for Christ, we first need to be in Him.
It is often said that comparison is the enemy of contentment—and this is true. We find security only in our position in Christ in the heavenly places.
The things of this world clamor for our attention. But they are not worthy of pursuit—they will pass away.
The agricultural imagery used in the Bible for the process of evangelism shows us that there are at least four stages: (1) Preparing the soil, (2) Sowing the Seed, (3) Cultivating the soil, and (4) Reaping the harvest. Stage four is the one many Christians tend to focus on, but we must remember that it is God who is responsible for the end results.
Ken Boa expounds upon the agricultural imagery used in the Bible to describe the dynamic process of evangelism.
Ken Boa continues to discuss the significance of evangelism and how it should be a growing priority in our lives as believers.
Evangelism takes those who are spiritually dead and brings them to the point where they can be discipled; this is not an overnight event but a process with multiple stages.
Measuring the success of discipleship is important; however, we must make sure to employ the right tools of measurement in order to judge that success.
In this lesson Ken Boa begins to discuss the desired outcome of discipleship: obedience-based disciples (people who obey what Jesus calls them to do).
