Sunday School January 25, 2026 - Call and Growth

5 Key Teaching Points
Calling Comes Before Readiness
God calls us where we are, not where we think we should be.

Growth Requires Revelation
Knowing who Jesus is transforms how we follow Him.

Failure Is Part of the Process
God uses mistakes to refine, not reject.

Love Anchors True Service
Ministry and leadership flow from love for Christ.

Growth Is a Lifelong Journey
Spiritual maturity is developed over time through grace and obedience.

The Story in Simple Terms
Matthew 4: The Call—"Follow Me" Jesus walks by the Sea of Galilee and sees Peter and Andrew fishing. He says, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately, they drop their nets and follow Him. Simple. Instant. Life-changing.
Matthew 16: The Confession—"You Are the Christ" Jesus asks His disciples, "Who do people say I am?" Then He gets personal: "But who do YOU say I am?" Peter nails it: "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus responds: "On this rock I will build my church."
John 21: The Restoration—"Do You Love Me?" After denying Jesus three times, Peter is back fishing—basically going back to his old life. Jesus shows up and asks him three times: "Do you love me?" Each time Peter says yes, Jesus says: "Feed my sheep." Jesus restores Peter's calling despite his failure.
2 Peter 3: The Mature Leader—"Grow in Grace" Decades later, Peter—now a seasoned apostle—writes: "Make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace... Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation... Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (verses 14-15, 18).
Bottom line? Peter's journey shows us: God calls you where you are, develops you through challenges, restores you when you fail, and expects you to keep growing until the day you die.
Your calling isn't a one-time event—it's a lifelong journey of growth.

The Lord alone judges hearts. Our role is to serve faithfully and build each other up, rather than judging or boasting.
How we live, lead, and relate to one another should reflect the values of Christ's Kingdom."
