Pastor Dana’s continues to look at Jesus’ life in Luke 4:14-21 and John 8:12-20, where Jesus declares His identity through His words and actions. He is the Spirit-anointed liberator spoken of in Isaiah and the Light of the world. We can declare our trust in God as the source of true light in multiples ways, going beyond “good enough” to sharing the Good News in healing ways, and hearing the presence of the Holy Spirit remind us to live as liberators, healers, and restorers of peace.

Pastor Dana’s continues to look at Jesus’ life in John 1:43-51 and Matthew 4:18-22. First, Nathaniel is invited by Philip to see Jesus and overcomes skepticism as they are invited to follow Him. We also see Jesus meet fishermen brothers Simon Peter and Andrew, then James and John, and He calls on them to be fishers of men. These examples reveal what it means to be called by Jesus and what it means to follow Him. Some people are called slowly, through relationships, while others have a sudden awakening to the call. Regardless how the call of Jesus comes, it is an invitation to transformation.
