Jesus calls his first disciples, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” Dr. Chris Croghan and Lars Olson explain how Matthew's version is unique compared to Mark's version and Luke's version as well as the importance of realizing when Jesus says, “Repent!” and “Follow me!” they're imperatives, they're not optional. Jesus is not waiting for you to answer the call. He's claiming you as His own. CARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls: Care of Souls - AddictionCOURSES Do you like what you learn in the conversations on Scripture First?

Rev. Austin Pfeiffer highlights how the beginning of Jesus' public ministry confronts our deep instinct toward self-reliance. In calling fishermen to leave their nets, teaching in synagogues, and healing the afflicted, Jesus exposes the ways we cling to work, religion, control, or productivity to sustain ourselves. Each of these three scenes asks whether we will admit our hunger, weakness, and need, or continue trusting what is familiar and manageable.

Every new year tempts us to chase better versions of ourselves. Stronger habits, clearer goals, clean slates. This message firmly redirects that instinct. Instead of starting with self-improvement, life with Jesus starts with obedience. His call in Matthew 4:19 isn't a slogan or a church growth strategy; it's the blueprint for the Christian life. He leads, He transforms, and He sends. “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”This sermon walks through the simple but disruptive pattern Jesus gives every disciple: follow Him, be transformed by Him, and make disciples for Him. It invites reflection on the grace God has already shown, challenges assumptions about what spiritual growth actually looks like, and presses the question none of us can dodge forever: if Jesus really is calling, what does obedience look like now? Not hypothetically, not someday, but this year?What you will discover:· Why following Jesus isn't a phase you graduate from, but something you either deepen or resist.· How real transformation works (and why it's less about willpower and more about proximity).· What Jesus is actually forming in people who surrender leadership of their lives to Him.· Why spiritual growth that never moves outward may not be growth at all.· How obedience to Jesus quietly reshapes your purpose, priorities, and relationships, whether you planned on it or not.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

Title: The Upside Down KingdomSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: Pastor Nate Holdridge teaches Matthew 4:12-25, revealing how Jesus' ministry location, personnel choices, and healing demonstrations preview the radical nature of God's kingdom. This message explores why Jesus established his headquarters in marginalized Galilee rather than religious Jerusalem, how he called ordinary fishermen to immediate and costly discipleship, and what his comprehensive healing ministry reveals about the kingdom's power to overturn every form of brokenness—physical, mental, spiritual, and relational.
