John 1:35-51 - "Rooted in God's Word"

🎙️ New Episode – Rooted in God’s Word PodcastWe’ve completed John Chapter 1 — and today we begin in verse 35 as Jesus calls His first disciples.What does it really mean to be called?A calling is not the same thing as an interest.An interest excites you when it’s convenient.A calling compels you — even when it costs you.In this episode, we walk through John 1:35–51 and watch what happens when ordinary men hear the simple words: “Follow Me.”These fishermen weren’t invited to admire Jesus.They were called to leave security, submit to His authority, grow through correction, join His mission, and embrace the cost.We explore:• What true discipleship looked like in first-century Roman-occupied Israel• Why John highlights Jesus as Lamb of God, Son of God, and King of Israel• The powerful moment Nathanael confesses Christ• The difference between being a “Christian” and being a disciple• What it means to deny yourself and surrender lordship to JesusDiscipleship is not passive belief.It is active allegiance.Jesus doesn’t say, “Get your life together and then follow Me.”He says, “Come and see.”The question is not whether we identify as Christians.The question is whether we have truly surrendered to follow Christ as Lord.🎧 Listen now and consider:What has God entrusted to you that you cannot ignore?#RootedInGodsWord #GospelOfJohn #John1 #FollowMe #Discipleship #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #JesusIsLord #SonOfGod #KingOfIsrael #LambOfGod #ComeAndSee #CountTheCost #FaithInAction #BiblicalTeaching
