    Are We Fishing For Souls Or Have We Become Keepers Of Aquariums?

    Today’s sermon is about Jesus calling four fishermen to follow him. We can find this story also in Mark 1:16-20.

    Jesus advised Peter and Andrew to leave their fishing business and become “fishers of men.” That means they were to help other people to find God. Jesus was calling them from their useful business to be spiritually useful. How many of us have heard the call and answered? We as a whole need to be ...read more

    Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

    In recent years, one of the biggest dangers to the church is that what was considered normal Christianity is now considered abnormal and what was not even considered Christianity at all is now become the norm and hub of our faith.

    Opening illustration: Show video “Leave: Follow.” Introduction: This is dizzying. If we read these verses honestly and thoughtfully, they really do take our breath away.
