    For deacon ordination: God has provided the wide door through which all may come, but also the narrow gate that calls for discipline and setting boundaries.

    What does it mean to forsake all? What does it mean to follow Him? What keeps us today from doing what the disciples did?

    In the preceding verses we see the miracle of fish. It wasn’t really a miracle at all. To Jesus it was the norm.
