Are you a spectator or a participant? When Jesus approached four ordinary fishermen by the Sea of Galilee, His invitation was simple yet radical: "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." In this episode, Dr. Jerry Shields continues our series, The Work and the Way of the Messiah, by looking at Matthew 4:18-22. We often treat Sunday morning worship as a casual observation, but Jesus calls us to a life-altering partnership. Whether you are in the middle of a workday or mending "nets" in your personal life, God is calling you to join His redemptive work in a broken world.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
The Necessity of Training: Why being a disciple means being a lifelong "learner" of Jesus’ words and examples.
-
From Blessing to Transmission: Shifting our perspective from what we can get from God to how we can be used by God.
-
The Urgent Response: Lessons from Peter, Andrew, James, and John on leaving the "boat" behind to follow the Call.
