BEING THE BODY OF CHRIST TODAY
Pastor Fenton Moorhead
Matthew 4:19
April 29, 2001
"Father in heaven I thank that You are a mighty God
and that You have given us Your Word, and Your Word is
truth. Lord Jesus thank You for praying for us, that we

chosen to give their lives to You, may they make that
choice today, by Your grace we ask it in Jesus Name," amen,

importance to Him.
And as He ministered to people, He looked beyond His
own ministry in flesh and blood, and He began to ask "How
is the work of the kingdom of God going to expand in the
future?" And this was His plan all along, and the plan of
the Father. And so from the people who were following Him,
He began to call disciples.
And what did He say to them? Did He ...
