In this message, Pastor Jake opens with the call to follow Jesus from Matthew 4:18 to 22, reframing “follow” not as passive observation but as an invitation to apprenticeship, a daily, personal journey of becoming like Christ and doing what He does. Jake explains that Jesus does not choose His disciples based on qualifications or perfection but on their willingness to say yes. Following Jesus means offering every part of our lives to Him, embracing self-denial, and learning to walk in step with His Spirit. It is a call that continues through every season of life, and Jake reminds us that Jesus meets us in the mundane, the messy, and the meaningful. Ryan also shares personal stories of following Jesus through marriage, parenting, and career, showing how apprenticeship to Jesus can shape every corner of ordinary life. Together, the message challenges us to ask not just what we believe, but how we live in response to the ongoing call to follow Him.

Do you ever wish you had learned your lesson from past experiences and mistakes? Here we see Jesus' disciples failing to remember that they can trust Jesus in times of need. We also need not to forget to trust Jesus and remember his faithfulness.
Fulfilled life with Jesus!
Jesus continues his ministry in the Northern regions, with two more healing encounters. In this passage we see some principles of ‘Asking Prayer'.
Pastor Jim reflects on Jesus' invitation to “Come and see” in John 1:35–51, emphasizing that God is not a platform, performance, or political position, but a person who invites us into relationship. He explores how the first disciples, ordinary people seeking approval, security, and significance, were met by Jesus not with demands but with an invitation. Through vivid storytelling and personal reflection, Jim reveals how Jesus continues to invite us to journey with Him, revealing both God's identity and our own. Regardless of our skepticism, search, or seasoned faith, the call remains the same: come, follow, and be transformed.
