Sunday 15th January 2023 – Calling Disciples Read: John 1:29-42
John had spent a lot of time telling people about Jesus, and when he saw Jesus on the road he took the chance to tell people again that Jesus will take away the sin of the world and about what had happened during his baptism.
When some of John’s Disciples saw Jesus for themselves they wanted to know more about him – to start they asked where he was staying. Jesus invited them to come and see. While they were there the men spent all afternoon talking and learning. One of the men who had been with Jesus was called Andrew. He couldn’t keep the good news to himself so immediately went and told his brother Simon all that he had saw and heard. He told Simon he had found the Messiah. Andrew took Simon to Jesus, where Jesus gave him the name Peter, which means rock.
These men were among some of the first disciples of Jesus.
Watch:
Why did Andrew want to know more about Jesus? What did he do about it? Who did he go to tell
next? Why did he tell Peter? How do you think Andrew and Peter were feeling?

Pray: Dear God, help us to learn more like the disciples. Amen
Father in heaven watch over our loved ones.
Keep them by your side.
May they be safe and peaceful, in you may they abide.
Give wisdom to the doctors and nurses too we pray,
renew their strength and bless them for the work they do each day. Send healing and restoration and let them feel your love.
May your Holy Spirit give them rest as gentle as a dove. Amen (Taken from Praying Together)
