Go Fish (Matthew 4:12-25)

Jesus invites us to fish for people, and we do that by doing what Jesus did. Jesus proclaimed hope to the broken places of the world. Everything is not alright, but  hope for the world has dawned. That hope is found in the message of Repentance. Jesus went where the people are and he took them as He found them. He did not sit around and expect people to come to Him but the opposite: wherever people gathered, that's where He proclaimed Hope. These people were broken and sick. He healed their physical ailments but didn't stop there and announced the path of healing their deepest hurt, their sin-sickness. He took people with Him. He called 12 men into deeper relationship with Him and modeled for them how to make disciples. This is what Jesus invites us into.
