Matthew 4:18-23: Jesus Calls His First Disciples.

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.

Note: Peter and Andrew left everything and did not worry about anything, and they followed Jesus. Do not worry about a Job or food. Trust in God.

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Note: James and John left their father to follow and did not worry about anything.

Note:  We must depend on God and nothing else.

 

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 72 – “Jesus Is The Son of God” In this episode, Trey Knowles delves into God’s Final Word — His Son, drawing from Hebrews 1 and other key scriptures to reveal Jesus’ divine identity and supreme authority. God Speaks Through His Son In the past, God communicated through prophets, but now He has spoken fully through His Son — the heir of all things and the One through whom the universe was made. Jesus reflects the very glory and nature of God, sustaining all creation by His powerful word. After accomplishing the purification of sins, He took His rightful place at the right hand of God in heaven, exalted above the angels. The Son’s Superiority to Angels Scripture distinguishes the Son from the angels. God never called an angel His Son or invited one to sit at His right hand. Instead, He commands the angels to worship Jesus, affirming His eternal throne and divine rule. The heavens and the earth will fade, but the Son remains unchanged — eternal and sovereign. Jesus Reveals the Father Jesus Himself declared, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). His words and works are those of the Father living within Him. As He stated, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), confirming His divine unity with God. Creator and Sustainer of All Things Colossians 1:16 proclaims that all things — visible and invisible — were created through and for Christ. He is not merely a messenger but the Creator and purpose of all existence. The Way, the Truth, and the Life Jesus declared in John 14:6 that He alone is the way to the Father — the truth and the life. No one can come to God apart from Him. Eternal and Almighty Finally, in Revelation 1:8, Jesus identifies Himself as “the Alpha and the Omega… who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Through these truths, Trey Knowles emphasizes that Jesus is not simply a prophet or teacher but the eternal Son of God — the full revelation of God’s glory, authority, and love.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 67 – “Love Always Trusts” In this episode, Trey Knowles shares that while love always trusts, we must be careful not to be deceived. True trust is rooted in God, not in people. He reminds listeners that it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to rely on human strength. As Scripture warns, those who place their trust in man and turn their hearts away from God bring harm upon themselves. Trey emphasizes that genuine love trusts fully in the Lord, who is the only unfailing source of strength and protection.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 66 – “Love Always Protects” In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the idea that genuine love always protects — but that protection requires trust. When we fail to trust or listen to the one protecting us, we step outside the safety that love provides. True protection comes through faith and obedience. As Trey reminds listeners, no weapon formed against us can prosper because love stands as our shield. Citing Psalm 28:7, he emphasizes that “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me,” underscoring that through trust in God’s love, we remain guarded from harm.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? Psalm 56:3-4
