Jesus calls us to follow him, just like he called Peter, Andrew, James and John. What their call means about our call.

Intro I have always had strong images of the calling by Jesus of Peter and Andrew, James and John. Perhaps it is through having been brought up in a town with a strong fishing history.

Slave Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 29, 2015

In this overlooked parable Jesus describes the life of discipleship in terms of service. Rather than focusing on our rights and needs, and deciding what we'd like to do, we need to focus on how we can serve our Master.
