When Jesus called the men to be disciples, it wasn’t at a church service. He met those guys while he was out in the community. Talked with them. Invited them to be a part of what He was doing. He made this unlikely group of guys fishers of men, teaching them how to be disciple makers. The message hasn’t changed in over 2000 years. We are also to be fishers of men.

When we lose sight of the big picture, it is easy to get disillusioned. We think that our hero can save day, but something happens, and they can’t. The disciples experienced this first hand.
