Following and Fishing (2 of 4)
Series: I Was Made For This

Matthew 4:18-22


We are in a series I Was Made For This. We have been talking about the plans and purposes of God in our lives. That we were made for God, others and Community. That doing life is not ever meant to do it alone.



Our goal is to get you to be apart of something if you are not already involved. In fact I want you to actually make your group you already have into a place of sharing the Life of Jesus with others.

Jesus finds some fisher men



He calls them to Himself.



He identifies those and then calls those to himself.



I sense a Divine Urgency



That Jesus is once again calling you and me.



He is calling those who have heard and those who have not heard.



It is the heart of God to call

Abraham was called out to another place * Noah was called to build an Ark * David was called to kill a Giant * Daniel was called to influence a nation * Esther was called to save her people * Jeremiah was called to speak to Israel * Moses was called to be a deliverer



Jesus is still calling today



There is a call by the Spirit to us.



There is a call by Jesus himself.
