Ordinary to Extraordinary
from BridgePointe Sermons
Imagine an average, frustrating day at your job. The struggle is real, until a stranger shows up. And all the sudden, you are better at your job than you've ever been before. That's what happened one day for a few fisherman who met Jesus. After a miraculous catch, Jesus invited these men to become His disciples and start "fishing for people" instead. For every person who follows Him, Jesus reorients their lives around a new purpose--to go into the world to bring people to Him.
