"Jesus Calls Us to Hear Well" | Luke 8:16-21 God has been writing his great story of redemption from the moment Adam and Eve fell. Like any great author, God has been developing his narrative masterfully, creating longing and anticipation for resolution. Luke recounts Jesus' entrance into history and presents Jesus as the fulfillment of God's plan. And Jesus invites us to humbly acknowledge our lostness, to follow him into his eternal kingdom, to admit the brokenness of this life. Join us as we journey through Luke, learning more about the wonder of Jesus and God's love for the lost everywhere. Speaker: Albert Chung

Following Jesus – Jesus Calls Us to Follow Him Without Reservations MESSAGE SUMMARY: From the Gospel of Luke (9:51-60): Following Jesus Jesus asks us to follow Him, but it's not like He is physically here on earth with us to show us the way. We must discern His intended way for us by listening to His voice and reading His Word and by aligning ourselves with the Holy Spirit who is leading us. Part of what Jesus is teaching us in Luke 9:51-60 is to stop making excuses and reasons for not following Him. Jesus calls us to follow Him now and without reservations. Christians are not just believers in Jesus; Christians are followers of Jesus. In Matthew 10:37-39, Jesus significantly refines the context and implications of His call to us as His followers: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.". Our calls from Jesus to follow Him may, often, be moment by moment. As Jesus said to the First Century Christians: follow me today! Is Jesus the Lord, or is Jesus your Lord? You must consciously make the decision to follow Jesus because He will call you. Jesus said: “Follow me.”. Who and what are you following   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Luke 9:51-60; Matthew 10:34-42; Psalms 4:1-8.

The Calling of St. Peter: Jesus Calls Us to Follow Him This presentation took place following a three-day conference, just as the attendees were preparing to participate in a Blessed Sacrament Procession. The discourse commences by highlighting how the Lord, on three separate occasions, beckoned Peter with the words “Follow Me.” The First Calling The initial summons to Peter occurred after an entire night dedicated to fishing. Peter was acquainted with Jesus, who was engaged in instructing a multitude by the shoreline. Jesus requested the use of Peter's boat as an elevated platform to address the gathering. Despite his fatigue and physical strain, Peter consented, and alongside the crowd, he listened attentively to the Lord's teachings. Following this discourse, Jesus suggested they resume fishing. Fatigued yet compliant, Peter embarked on another fishing venture and experienced an abundant catch. Overwhelmed by this turn of events, Peter humbled himself in awe, prompting the Lord to gaze upon this weary man and utter the words, “Follow Me.” The Second Calling As Peter continued to accompany the Lord, a second call emerged. This call was more intricate than the first, coming after a period of devoted companionship with Jesus. It was a call that delved into the profound significance of “Following Me.” Jesus posed a seemingly simple query to his disciples: “Whom do people say that I am?” This question signaled a deeper invitation. Among the diverse responses from the disciples, Peter, the one to speak up, proclaimed, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!” While his words were accurate, Peter's understanding had yet to align with his proclamation. The Lord instructed him not to reveal this insight, indicating that genuine comprehension of Jesus emanates from His own words. Subsequently, Jesus elucidated His identity and foretold His impending sacrifice. Peter, stirred by concern, interjected, prompting Jesus to rebuke him. Yet, Jesus affirmed that true discipleship involves a profound commitment. This second call's relevance to our lives is expounded upon in the presentation. The Third Calling Following the second call, the Lord embarked on purifying Peter's (and our) discipleship. This third and most poignant calling took place again by the waterside after a night of fruitless fishing. Jesus directed Peter to cast his nets on the opposite side of the boat, resulting in an overwhelming catch. Overwhelmed with conviction, Peter plunged into the water and swam to shore to meet the Lord, embodying a redemptive encounter following his prior denial. On the shore, Jesus engaged Peter in a sequence of three questions, culminating in the resounding command, “Follow Me.” This trilogy of inquiries held profound significance, and their purpose is explored in the presentation. This final calling epitomizes the Lord's instructive method, shedding light on the teachings He conveyed to Peter, which carry enduring lessons for all of us.

Summer Bible Study: Jesus Calls Us to Radical Faith - A Devotional Look at Mary, Mother of Jesus  God uses people because of what it will do for us, not because of what it will do for Him. God chooses to use us to help us see what He is doing and to help us see who He is. From today's episode: Heart Check: What has Jesus been saying to you throughout this week?  What is He calling you to?  Is He calling you to lay something down?  Is He calling you to pick something up? Don't forget to share your thoughts on the Facebook page and with your circle of influence.   This audio devotional is a companion to the She Hears Bible Study, today's content is from Chapter 1- Mary- A Woman of Authority.   Mary and the servants acted in faith despite what they saw in the physical.     Purchase the Bible Study- She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus: https://shehears.org/resources In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew. Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be. Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.  Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.

You, therefore, must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matt 5:48). Fr. Eric Nicolai preaches at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto, on April 26 2023. The message “Be perfect...” might cause us to wilt. How can I be perfect even as a human being, much less “as the Father is perfect” – the Infinite, Omnipotent God whom I cannot see, whom (it seems) I know only from a distance? This is an impossible vocation! Indeed it is... if I am relying only on my own efforts. This is why a Gospel reduced to mere human moralism is always either oppressive or watered down to a purely human proposal.
