Series: Who’s Your One? / Pastor Brent Snook / Oct 2, 2022

Bible Text: Matthew 4:18-22


And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. (Matthew 4:18-22)

I. CONCEPT

“God skipped all the wise of the day! The great scholars were in Egypt. The great library was in Alexandria. The great philosophers were in Athens. The powerful were in Rome. He passed over Herodotus-the historian, and Socrates-the great thinker, and Julius Caesar. He chose men so ordinary it was comical. No rabbis, no teachers, no religious experts .”

John Macarthur

Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Matthew 11:11

II. CHOICE

Jesus chose the disciples; they didn’t choose Him.

“bear fruit” = win others to Christ

III. COMPANION

Jesus invites us to follow Him

IV. CONFLICT

And they immediately left the ship and their father, andfollowed him. Matthew 4:22

Three Stages of Jesus’s Ministry

1. Come and See = to observe

2. Come and Die = to be fully committed to Christ

3. Go and Tell

V. COMMAND

And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matthew 4:19
