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;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

To God be the glory, great things He has done;

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,

And opened the life gate that all may go in.

“To God Be The Glory ”

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,Let the earth hear His voice!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,Let the people rejoice!O come to the Father,

thro’ Jesus the Son,And give Him the glory,

great things He hath done.


O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

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

Jesus a pardon receives.


Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,And great our rejoicing

thro’ Jesus the Son;But purer, and higher,

and greater will beOur wonder, our vicr’ry,

when Jesus we see.

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,


Floods of joy o’er my soul

Like the sea billows roll,

Since Jesus came into my heart.


I’m possessed of a hope

that is steadfast and sure,


And no dark clouds of doubt

now my pathway obscure,



There’s a light in the valley of death

now for me,


And the gates of the City beyond I can see,



I shall go there to dwell

in that City, I know,


And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go,

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”
