This message draws us into the shores of Galilee where Jesus begins building his movement by calling fishermen to become fishers of people. We explore Matthew 4:12-23 and discover that Jesus doesn't work alone—he intentionally builds a team, choosing pairs of brothers who already know how to work together, who understand patience, cooperation, and the power of networks. The sermon challenges us to see ourselves as part of this same movement today, called to cast nets of love, hope, and forgiveness into a world still plagued by suffering, oppression, and division. We're reminded that the church's mission remains incomplete, that holes in our nets—our pride, our disagreements, our narrow definitions of who belongs—can drive people away from the good news. Yet the urgency remains: people are hurting now, hungry now, trapped now. The call to follow Jesus isn't about personal gain or earthly rewards, but about putting Christ first and extending God's grace to all people, all creation. This message invites us to drop our nets of self-interest and fall into step with Jesus, working together to heal, liberate, and transform lives in our communities and beyond.
