I Am A Disciple | Pastor Michael A. Walrond Jr. | FCBCNYC

December 31, 2023 - 9:30pm.
Join Pastor Mike Walrond at FCBCNYC for a transformative Watch Night Sermon to welcome the New Year, themed "I AM A DISCIPLE." Drawing inspiration from Matthew 28:19-20, as interpreted in both the NRSV and MSG Bibles, this sermon is a call to re-envision discipleship.
Pastor Mike emphasizes that discipleship transcends mere attendance at church; it's a profound expression of a heart transformed by love, manifested in our daily lives. He challenges the congregation to embody love and peace, pointing to a different, more harmonious path.
Reflecting on the essence of Jesus’ teachings, Pastor Mike reminds us that following Jesus is not a journey of comfort or clarity. It's a bold step into the unknown, without the assurance of safety or recognition. Embracing this journey means moving beyond societal qualifications, acknowledging that disciples are not born but made, often from life's misfits.
This sermon addresses the beauty in our brokenness, recognizing that even in our fragility and imperfection, we are entrusted with God's work. It's a powerful reminder that we are more than our flaws or the judgments of others. We are seen by God in our full potential, picked up from our falls, and tasked with a divine assignment.
Pastor Mike urges the congregation to shed spiritual blindness and see themselves through God's eyes. He stresses that discipleship is not about eloquence but action, exemplified by the fruits of one's life. In this movement initiated by Jesus, words give way to transformative deeds.
Emphasizing ever evolving, Mike Walrond declares that discipleship is a never-ending journey of growth and change. As disciples, we become unrecognizable to our former selves, embodying our beliefs in every aspect of life. We are called to be unstoppable in our pursuit of what God has called us to do.
Concluding with a powerful call to action, "I AM A DISCIPLE," Pastor Walrond envisions a world with fewer churches but more true disciples, leading with the invincible power of love. This sermon is an invitation to join a journey of authentic discipleship, embracing the hard tasks and embodying the change we wish to see in the world.
