Worship

A Word from Our Pastor

Dear FBC Family,

I’m so happy to be with you this morning and especially because today we will be sharing the Lord’s Supper together.

Also, we will continue our series, The ReMARKable Life of Jesus. In today’s message, we will look at the following passage:

As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him.

Mark 1.15-18

One of the first things Jesus asked His disciples to do was to follow him. And he did this so that He could make them fishers of men.

In the same way, Jesus wants us to follow Him. And he calls us to be fishers of men—that’s part of following Jesus. Fishing and following go together. If you’re not fishing, then you aren’t following!

Praying for you,
Pastor Danny
