Are You a Disciple of Yeshua? Are You Sure?

This Teaching asks whether identifying as a believer or attending religious gatherings is the same as being a disciple of Yeshua. The speaker traces the Hebrew eved (servant) and language of learning and following from Isaiah’s faithful disciples through the examples of Moses and Joshua, Elijah and Elisha, and other biblical relationships. He argues that discipleship means belonging to the Master, learning His instruction, submitting to His authority, imitating His conduct, and serving others. Yeshua’s call to leave the nets, deny oneself, take up the cross daily, count the cost, and wash one another’s feet challenges passive religious affiliation. The Teaching closes by urging personal examination: do our desires, decisions, loyalties, and actions reflect Yeshua’s rule?
