Podcast Episode Title: "How Jesus Trains His Disciples" (Luke 6:12-19)
Welcome :
"Welcome to another episode of 'Journey with Jesus,' where we explore the profound teachings and life of our Saviour. Today, we begin our journey through Luke chapter 6, unveiling the invaluable lessons on how Jesus trained His disciples.
In our own lives, we often find ourselves in the training business, whether as parents, mentors, or leaders. Today, we'll draw inspiration from the way Jesus impacted and trained His disciples, gleaning insights to apply in our own journey.
Episode Highlights:
Jesus' Night of Prayer (Luke 6:12):
Jesus, as a habit, devoted time to prayer. A unique event unfolds as He spends an entire night in prayer on a mountain. This special time of prayer precedes a significant decision: the selection of the twelve apostles.
Choosing the Twelve (Luke 6:13-16):
From a larger group of disciples, Jesus selects twelve, designating them as apostles. Noteworthy disciples include Peter, who consistently holds a prominent position, and Judas, who is always listed last and later becomes the betrayer. The intentional selection of ordinary individuals by Jesus highlights God's delight in using ordinary people in extraordinary ways.
Becoming Disciples and Apostles (Mark 3:14):
Jesus appoints the twelve to be with Him and to be sent out to preach.
This transition signifies the dual role of discipleship: learning and being sent out with authority.
Following Jesus' Example (Luke 6:17-19):
Jesus ministers to a vast multitude, emphasizing healing and addressing tangible needs. People come not only to hear Jesus but also to experience healing and relief from tormenting unclean spirits. Jesus' example involves not just teaching but actively engaging in ministering to people's needs.
Prayer and Example: Our Impact on Others:
Jesus' training involves prayer and being an example. As believers, our greatest impact on people comes through praying for them and being an example, just as Jesus did.
Jesus' foundational ministry is characterized by compassion, healing, and ministering to the physical and emotional needs of people. Compassionate actions leave a lasting impact beyond mere words.
Truth More Caught Than Taught:
Believers are called to copy Jesus' example by being compassionate and actively ministering to the needs of others. The truth is more caught than taught; our example can have a profound impact on those we encounter.
Closing Message:
"As we wrap up this episode, let's be inspired by the way Jesus trained His disciples. May we, too, embrace the power of prayer, actively minister to the needs of others, and be living examples of God's love and compassion. Remember, our impact on others goes beyond words; it's in the
