Living Water: The Woman at the Well – John 4:1–26 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane walk through John 4:1–26, the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. What begins as a simple conversation about water becomes a life-changing revelation about worship, identity, and living water that never runs dry. Together, they explore how Jesus meets us in unexpected places, crosses cultural and personal barriers, and speaks directly to our deepest thirst. This passage reminds us that no past is too complicated, no question too bold, and no heart too far for the transforming presence of Christ. If you've ever felt unseen, unqualified, or spiritually dry—this conversation is for you. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

He Must Increase: John 3:22–36In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 3:22–36, where John the Baptist humbly declares, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” As questions of comparison and influence arise, John's response reveals a powerful model of humility, joy, and surrender.Together, they unpack what it means to live a life that points to Jesus rather than elevates self, how identity is secured in Christ—not position—and why true joy is found in making much of Him. This passage invites us to examine our motives, release comparison, and embrace a faith that celebrates Christ's increase above all.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Born Again: New Life from Above – John 3:1–21In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 3:1–21, the iconic conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. What does it truly mean to be born again? Together, they unpack the difference between religious knowledge and spiritual rebirth, the role of the Spirit in new life, and the radical love of God revealed through Jesus. This passage invites us out of striving and into surrender—where belief leads to transformation and darkness gives way to lightJohn 3:3 – “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3:5 – “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.”John 3:15 - "Whoever believes in him [Jesus] should not perish but have eternal life."John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son…”John 3:17 – “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world…”John 3:19–21 – Light vs. darkness—what we choose reveals what we believe.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Jesus calls the first disciples (Sermon Series on John) - Sunday, 1st February 2026[Episode 7 - John Chapter 1 KJV]1. What seek ye?John 1:38  Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?2. Come and see.John 1:39  He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 3. Andrew finds PeterJohn 1:40-41 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.4. We have found Him.John 1:41  He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.5. Peter's name is changed.John 1:42  And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

What if following Jesus isn't about learning more—but about leaving what's comfortable? Jesus begins His public ministry not from a place of striving, but from the Father's approval—and then He immediately goes to work. In Matthew 4, we see Jesus fulfill ancient prophecy, bring light into darkness, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is here now, and call ordinary, unlikely people to join Him on a rescue mission for the world. This message challenges us to stop delaying the kingdom, to embody it by pushing back darkness with light, and to respond to Jesus' simple but costly invitation: “Follow Me.” From fishermen dropping their nets to crowds bringing their brokenness to Jesus, we're reminded that discipleship is not a spectator sport—it's a life of obedience, community, and mission. What might Jesus be asking you to lay down so you can take your next step of obedience?

From Water to Wine: When Jesus Steps In – John 2 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John chapter 2, beginning with Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana and continuing through the cleansing of the temple. Together, they unpack what these moments reveal about Jesus' authority, compassion, and timing. From quiet transformation to bold confrontation, John 2 shows us that Jesus doesn't just improve our circumstances—He reorders what matters most. This conversation invites listeners to trust Jesus in both the celebration and the disruption. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

After coming into Galilee, in northern Israel, Jesus began preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God to the Jewish people. The Kingdom of God was at hand because the King was there and they were to accept and believe in Him who was their coming Messiah.Now while Jesus was in the area of Galilee, he begins to call His first 4 men, fishermen, to follow Him as His disciples.You will note there were two pairs of brothers who, possibly, were also partners in the fishing business.Dr. Mitchell explains more of the relationships between these brothers in this lesson. Notice their immediate obedience in following the savior. The savior is going to prepare them to be fishers of men, seeking men who need Jesus and giving them the good news.Here is Dr. Mitchell, Mark 1:14. This is the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Come and See: The First Disciples – John 1:29–51In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through the Gospel of John by exploring John 1:29–51, the calling of the first disciples. From John the Baptist's declaration—“Behold, the Lamb of God”—to Jesus' simple yet powerful invitation to “come and see,” this passage reveals how relationship, curiosity, and witness draw people to Christ. Together, they unpack what it means to follow Jesus before fully understanding Him, how obedience often begins with an invitation, and why discipleship is rooted in encounter, not perfection. This conversation invites listeners to reflect on their own call to follow—and who God may be inviting them to bring along.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

John 1:19-51 As we continue through the Gospel of John, we see Jesus revealing himself personally and inviting seekers to believe. John the Baptist gives witness to many that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.  Jesus then has his first interactions with Andrew, Peter, Philip and Nathanael. Each has his own story of how he came to follow Jesus. Faith often begins with invitation, testimony and simple obedience.

The full prayer transcript is available by going to this episode on the Podcast website. https://dailyprayeranglicanprayerbookforaustralia.podbean.com Welcome to Sunday Morning prayer. We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ: GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA With faithfulness we respond to the good news: We acknowledge Christ our Saviour has already saved us and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more. Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,  Blessed be God forever.   Let us Pray.   The Sentence of the day Christ the King / The Reign of Christ Jesus revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.   1 This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.  Psalm 118.24 Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit:  as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen.     3 The opening Canticle Oh come let us sing out to the Lord. let us shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his face with thanksgiving. And cry out to him joyfully in psalms. For the Lord is a great God. and a great king above all gods. In his hands are the depths of the earth. and the peaks of the mountains are his also. The sea is his and he made it. His hands moulded dryland. Come let us worship and bow down. And kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is the Lord our god. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture. Today if only you would hear his voice: “Do not harden your hearts as Israel did in the wilderness.” “When your forebears tested me.” “Put me to proof though they had seen my works.” “Forty years long I loathe that generation and said.” “It is a people who err in their hearts.” “For they do not know my ways.” “Of whom I swore in my wrath.” “They shall not enter my rest.”   3 The Opening Prayer The night has passed, and the day lies open before us;  let us pray with one heart and mind.    Silence may be kept. As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,  so may the light of your presence, O God,  set our hearts on fire with love for you;  now and for ever.  Amen.     4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each. Psalm 40.1-14   5 At the end of the (last) pause there may follow Lord God, whose blessed Son rose in triumph and set us free: grant us the fullness of life he promised us, that through the Holy Spirit our hearts may possess him whom our eyes cannot see, the same Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.         6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed.   1st Reading Isaiah 49.1-7; 1 Listen to me, O coastlands; pay attention, you peoples from far away! The LORD called me before I was born; while I was in my mother's womb he named me. 2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away. 3 And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.” 4 But I said, “I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my cause is with the LORD and my reward with my God.” 5 And now the LORD says, who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and my God has become my strength— 6 he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” 7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the slave of rulers, “Kings shall see and stand up princes, and they shall prostrate themselves, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.” The reading is followed by Hear the word of the LORD Thanks be to GOD     2nd Reading John 1.29-42 The Lamb of God 29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.' 31I myself did not know him, but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One.” The First Disciples of Jesus 35The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, 36and as he watched Jesus walk by he exclaimed, “Look, here is the Lamb of God!” 37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. 40One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Anointed). 42He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas (seefus)” (which is translated Peter).   The reading is followed by Hear the message of Christ Thanks be to GOD.     7 The Canticle, The Song of Zechariah (Benedictus) Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel:  who has come to his people and set them free.  The Lord has raised up for us a mighty Saviour:  born of the house of his servant David.  Through the holy prophets, God promised of old:  to save us from our enemies, from the hands of  all who hate us,  To show mercy to our forebears:  and to remember his holy covenant.  This was the oath God swore to our father Abraham:  to set us free from the hands of our enemies,  Free to worship him without fear:  holy and righteous before him, all the days of our life.  And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High:  for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,  To give his people knowledge of salvation:  by the forgiveness of their sins.  In the tender compassion of our God:  the dawn from on high shall break upon us,  To shine on those who dwell in darkness  and the shadow of death:  and to guide our feet into the way of peace.  Luke 1.68–79     8 The Apostles creed I believe in God, the Father almighty,   creator of heaven and earth.   I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,   who was conceived by the Holy Spirit   born of the virgin Mary.   suffered under Pontius Pilate,   was crucified, died, and was buried;   he descended to the dead.   On the third day he rose from the dead.   He ascended into heaven   and is seated at the right hand of the Father.   From there he will come to judge  the living and the dead.   I believe in the Holy Spirit,   the holy catholic church,   the communion of saints,   the forgiveness of sins,   the resurrection of the body,   and the life everlasting. Amen.   9 The Prayers Lord have mercy.  Christ have mercy.  Lord have mercy.    10 The LORDs prayer Our Father in heaven,  hallowed be your name,  your kingdom come,  your will be done,  on earth as in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread.  Forgive us our sins  as we forgive those who sin against us.  Save us from the time of trial  and deliver us from evil.  For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours  now and for ever. Amen.    10 The Collect of the Day Second Sunday after the epiphany. Bountiful God, whose son revealed his glory at Cana of Galilee: help us to believe and obey, so that, as our saviour promised, we may be filled with the wine of new life and show forth his joy and love;` who lives and reigns with you and the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen   Prayer of the Week Second Sunday after the epiphany.

We are in message number 8 in our series on the Gospel of John. With a message titled; The First Disciples.

John 1:35-51

Following his sermon in the series through the book of John, Here is Your King, Tyler talks with Trevor about some questions regarding the harmonization of the Gospels, hermeneutics, and the fact that apologetics and evangelism is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Passage: John 1:35-51 If you have any questions about the sermon, fill out the form on the Church Center App.

Series: Here Is Your King Speaker: Trevor Route Scripture: John 1:35-51 Main Idea: The call to follow Jesus is both a relational and a transformative journey.

The call of the first disciples is the same call that reaches us today: to come, to see, and to follow. In John 1:35–42, John the Baptist points his own followers toward Jesus, declaring, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” With humility and obedience, he releases those closest to him so they can follow the One who truly saves. In this episode, we reflect on what it means to turn others—and even our own hearts—toward Jesus. As we respond to that call, may we be moved to lead others closer to Christ, the Lamb of God.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

The testimonies of the first disciples show us how people still come to Jesus today. His invitation remains the same: “Come, follow Me.” Scripture References: John 1:35-51 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

After forty days of fasting in the wilderness, Jesus faces three temptations from Satan and responds with Scripture alone. Following John's arrest, Jesus moves to Capernaum in Galilee to begin His public ministry, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy about light dawning in darkness. He calls four fishermen to follow Him and begins teaching in synagogues, preaching the kingdom, and healing throughout the region. Matthew 4 shows Christ succeeding where Israel failed and launching the mission that would transform the world.  The Rev. Roger Mullet, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Buffalo, WY, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 4.  To learn more about Prince of Peace, visit princeofpeacebuffalo.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! When was the last time that you invited someone to meet Jesus? Every born-again believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit the moment that they are saved. As we yield our lives and agenda to the Holy Spirit and we let the Holy Spirit work in us and through us, the power to be Christ's “witnesses” in the world is available to us. As Christians, we have a Biblical mandate to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” and to let our “light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. God Bless and have a good week!

The post John 1:35-51: Jesus Calls His First Disciples appeared first on HIGH DESERT CHURCH PCA.

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 - John 1:19-51 | This passage highlights John the Baptist's testimony as he points to Jesus as the Lamb of God, modeling humility and his role as a forerunner. We also see Jesus calling His first disciples—Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathanael—each in a unique way, showing us what it truly means to follow Him.

Message from Derek Griz on September 7, 2025

Jesus called twelve men to follow him as his disciples. He later sent them out as apostles. John 1 records the calling of the first four. Professor Keith Wessel, a teacher of God's Word at Martin Luther College, is to here take us through this account. 

N. McBroom - The First Disciples John 1:35-51

Matthew writes about Jesus leaving Nazareth to live in Capernaum. He began to preach the kingdom of heaven as at hand. His very presence was a light to that region.Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, calls His first disciples--Simon Peter, Andrew his brother, and James and John. Dr. Mitchell says, this is the call to service. Jesus, then, teaches in their synagogues and heals all kinds of diseases so people from a wide region followed Him. The ministry of Jesus, now, begins in earnest as He preaches the gospel of the kingdom.Matthew up to this point, has quoted 11 separate Old Testament passages.The Lord Jesus is the Messiah of Israel. Jesus is ever the focus of Matthew's writing in this Gospel.Is this Jesus the focus and center of our affection and devotion in these days?Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 4:12.

Episode NotesEpisode 92: Matthew 4 - Not the First Calling of the First DisciplesFeb 13, 2025 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallIn this episode we finish Matthew chapter 4 by looking at the beginning of Jesus' ministry in Galilee and what some say is the calling of the first disciples. Did these men immediately leave everything in order to serve Jesus? We will discover… following Jesus might not be that simple, demanding, or immediate.

Victor Books.The incident recorded here is obviously not the first time Jesus had been in contact with the men whom He called to be His disciples. Luke already had stated that Jesus had healed Simon's mother-in-law which denotes previous contact with Simon and Andrew. This seems to be at least the third time Jesus had contact with these men. In John 1:41 Andrew told Peter that he had found the Messiah. Apparently the men at first did not follow Jesus on a “full-time” basis, for in Mark 1:16–20 (also Matt. 4:18–22) Jesus called Simon, Andrew, James, and John. Mark recorded that that call was before Jesus entered the synagogue in Capernaum and healed a man who was demon-possessed. It is no wonder Peter invited Jesus home after the synagogue incident. Now, sometime later, Peter and the others were still fishermen. It was at this point, now that Jesus had established His authority (Luke 4:31–44), that He called these men to full-time discipleship.1Show Music:Intro/Outro - "Growth" by Armani Delos SantosTransition Music - produced by Jacob A.
