When Jesus began to assemble his leadership team, he began in an unlikely place.  He went to the seashore and found some fishermen.  Average ordinary people through whom he would turn the world upside down.

Jesus sees the potential in men like Peter and Andrew, James and John and he calls them to a new kind of fishing.  Fishing for men and women.

Their obedience is instant and wholehearted.  Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.

Jesus sees you too.  He calls out to you: "Come follow me, I will make you a fisher of men."  You might feel inadequate for the task.  You might wonder if he should call someone else.  But he is looking in your eyes and calling out to you:

"I see potential in you for the kingdom.  Come follow me.  I will show you how to make a difference in your world.  I will make you a fisher of men."

Jesus never makes mistakes--he knows your potential.  He will be with you each step of the way as you reach out to others with the good news of the gospel.  Don't be afraid.  Get out of your boat and follow him.

With Joy,

Pastor Jeff
