All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,
so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (HCSB)
Call to WorshipPraise God,
from Whom all blessings flow;Praise Him,
all creatures here below;Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

To ev’ry believer the promise of God;The vilest offender who truly believes,That moment from

What a wonderful change
in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul
for which long I had sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
“Since Jesus Came Into My Heart!”
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul
Like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
“Since Jesus Came Into My Heart!”
I’m possessed of a hope
that is steadfast and sure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And no dark clouds of doubt
now my pathway obscure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
“Since Jesus Came Into My Heart!”
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul
Like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
“Since Jesus Came Into My Heart!”
There’s a light in the valley of death
now for me,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And the gates of the City beyond I can see,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
“Since Jesus Came Into My Heart!”
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul
Like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
“Since Jesus Came Into My Heart!”
I shall go there to dwell
in that City, I know,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
“Since Jesus Came Into My Heart!”
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul
Like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
“Since Jesus Came Into My Heart!”

Pastoral Prayer
Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples. When he
saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!” The two disciples
heard him say this and followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and
noticed them following Him, He asked them, “What are you looking
for?” They said to Him, “ Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where
are You staying?”
“Come and you’ll see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they stayed with Him
that day. It was about 10 in the morning. Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who
heard John and followed Him. He first found his own brother Simon and
told him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which means “Anointed One”), and he brought [Simon] to
Jesus.
When Jesus saw him, He said, “You are Simon, son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which means “Rock”). The
next day He decided to leave for Galilee. Jesus found Philip and told him, “Follow Me!” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter. Philip found
Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets):
Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!” “Can anything good
come out of Nazareth?” Nathanael asked him. “Come and see,” Philip
answered. Then Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and
said about him, “Here is a true Israelite; no deceit is in him.” “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,”
Jesus answered. “Rabbi,” Nathanael replied, “You are the Son of God! You
are the King of Israel!” Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe [only] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” Then He said, “ I assure you: You will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the
Son of Man.” John 1:35-51 (HCSB)
COME AND SEE(The Calling of the
First Disciples)

INTRODUCTION
AS THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST INCREASES HIS FOLLOWERS
INCREASE
“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
John 3:30 (HCSB)
THE CALLING OF THE FIRST
DISCIPLES OF CHRIST
During those days He went out to the mountain to pray and spent all night
in prayer to God. When daylight came, He summoned His disciples, and He chose 12 of them—He also
named them apostles: Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and
Bartholomew;
Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot; Judas the son of James, and
Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Luke 6:12-16 (HCSB)
PROCLAMATION
The following day John was again standing with two of his disciples. As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and declared, “Look! There is the Lamb of God!” When John’s two
disciples heard this, they followed Jesus.
John 1:35-37 (NLT)
INVITATION
Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, "What are you seeking?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher),
"where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come and you will see." So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth
hour. One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus
was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his own brother Simon
and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ). He
brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "So you are Simon the
son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter ). The
next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to
him, "Follow me."
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip
found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses
in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." Nathanael said to him, "Can
anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come
and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him
and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!" Nathanael said to him, "How do you
know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
John 1:38-48 (ESV)
REALIZATION
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" Jesus answered him, "Because I
said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see
greater things than these." And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you
will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on
the Son of Man."
John 1:49-51 (ESV)
Without Him, I could do nothing,Without Him, I’d surely fail;
Without Him, I would be driftingLike a ship without a sail.
Jesus, O Jesus,
Do you know Him today?
Do not turn Him away.O Jesus, O Jesus,
Without Him how lost I would be
“Without Him”
Without Him, I could be dying,Without Him, I’d be enslaved;
Without Him, life would be hopeless,But with Jesus, thank God, I’m saved.
Jesus, O Jesus,
Do you know Him today?
Do not turn Him away.O Jesus, O Jesus,
Without Him how lost I would be
“Without Him”
