Calling of First Disciples - Heaven to Earth - Matthew S1E4 (Full Service)

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? 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Matthew 4 • Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Story https://youtu.be/NTn2ewqM0qY • Sermon https://youtu.be/I4iNhrmI0CA • Podcast https://youtu.be/oMPLVGrQqdk • Matthew Season 1: Heaven to Earth Sermon Series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG692pIhVPamS3EX-QC_cyRyx64IdRRxA&si=zCica1qAvmN5cU3e • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG692pIhVPalAqqevl0Vj7-9hbAkvaxgD #TheChurchOfEleven22 #Jesus #Christian #testimony #Church #Matthew #MatthewSeason1 #HeaventoEarth The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
