Jesus Builds His Kingdom Relationally

Jesus of Nazareth came to earth and became fully human then, through His relationship with the Father and baptism by the Holy Spirit, restored the Kingdom of God to earth. Our focus today is on how Jesus built His Kingdom through His relationships with His followers. For instance, Mark and Matthew make it seem the calling of the fishermen, Andrew and Simon, James and John was like a cold call. John and Luke, in huge contrast, show a beautiful building of a relationship before an awesome catch of fish leads to them becoming "fishers of men."
