Summary

What if following Jesus isn’t about learning more—but about leaving what’s comfortable?Jesus begins His public ministry not from a place of striving, but from the Father’s approval—and then He immediately goes to work. In Matthew 4, we see Jesus fulfill ancient prophecy, bring light into darkness, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is here now, and call ordinary, unlikely people to join Him on a rescue mission for the world.This message challenges us to stop delaying the kingdom, to embody it by pushing back darkness with light, and to respond to Jesus’ simple but costly invitation: “Follow Me.” From fishermen dropping their nets to crowds bringing their brokenness to Jesus, we’re reminded that discipleship is not a spectator sport—it’s a life of obedience, community, and mission.What might Jesus be asking you to lay down so you can take your next step of obedience? 📣 Episode Mentions:• Scripture Passage: Matthew 4• Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week:• From Existing to Free - Mark’s Story• Calling of First Disciples - Heaven to Earth - Matthew S1E4 (Full Service) • What Does it Mean to Follow Jesus? - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin: Matthew S1E3• Matthew Season 1: Heaven to Earth Sermon Series• Deepen with Pastor Joby MartinThe Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

That's what I thought. You're not doing good. I'm going to be honest. The new 922 service, bro, they were frozen. I don't know what it is. Okay? It was not good. This thing is a two-way street, all right? I promise I'll do my part. I'll preach the word. I'll bring the energy. But I need you to sit up.

I need you to get your Bibles out. We're going to be Matthew chapter 4. I need everybody moving.

0:35.4

If your neighbor doesn't get their Bible, shame them. But look at them. What are you doing, man? We had a Bible study. Let's go. There you go. I need you to look to your neighbor and put your hand on their shoulder and say, are you ready for this? See what you did?

0:38.3

Now look at your other neighbor and say, I'm ready for this. All right, let's go. I know it's cold. We're not used to it. The plants froze, but apparently you're sold it too. So we've got to wake up. We're going to say the word of God. We've got to be into this, all right? And so there we go, there we go.
