Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are in the Gospel of Mark. Go to the website and grab the Scripture Journal for this study so you can study along with us. Our shout-out today goes to Tim Salvesen from Carver, MN! Thank you for being a monthly partner, Tim. You rock my face off. I hope you enjoy this devotional today. Today, we're reading Mark 1:16-20: Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him. — Mark 1:16-20 Jesus didn't give these men a detailed plan. He didn't give a lecture or a checklist. He gave a simple, life-altering invitation: “Follow me.” No resume required. No spiritual degree. Just ordinary fishermen—busy working, heads down, doing life. Jesus walks up and flips their world upside down with two words. And here's the wild part—they dropped everything. Nets. Boats. Family. Comfort. Security. Gone in an instant. Because when Jesus calls, obedience can't be delayed. He didn't just invite them to believe something—He invited them to become something. "Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men." He wasn't offering a career change. He was offering transformation. A new mission. A new identity. That's what following Jesus always does. It interrupts. It costs. But it also creates. He doesn't call you to a better version of yourself—He calls you into a whole new purpose. And notice the pattern: He calls. They respond. No stalling. No excuses. No “let me check my schedule.” Just immediate obedience. That's the power of Jesus' voice—it cuts through the noise and speaks straight to the soul. So, what do you need to drop to become someone different in Jesus today? #FollowJesus, #RadicalObedience, #FishersOfMen ASK THIS: What is Jesus asking me to drop in this season? Do I respond to Jesus immediately or with hesitation? How does my identity change when I follow Jesus fully? Am I more focused on comfort or on His calling? DO THIS: Drop the one thing today that's delaying your full obedience to Jesus. PRAY THIS: Jesus, give me the courage to drop what's familiar and follow you without delay. Make me into who you've called me to be. Amen. PLAY THIS: I Have Decided to Follow Jesus.

A sermon from our Sunday services.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 27th of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Luke 5:10: “And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” What a beautiful scripture! The Lord wants to make you and I fishers of men. Then we go to the Gospel of Mark 16:15: “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” The Lord is calling you and I today to be fishers of men, not just fishers of fish but men. Peter was a fisherman. He used all his secular skills to win souls for Christ once the Lord had called him into full-time service. I want to speak to young people this morning. A lot of young people are getting ready to write their final exams and then go into the world. I want to say one thing to you, get qualified! Get qualified. If you are qualified, you will be of more use to the Lord in the mission field than in anything else. The Lord is looking for doctors, nurses, engineers, farmers. He wants to teach people how to fish.Now, I remember clearly as a young boy, maybe 16 years old, I read about an organisation called VSO, Voluntary Service Overseas, and I wrote to them and I said I want to offer myself to help the poor in foreign nations, and I never even got a response. I was so disappointed but you know, they were quite correct. I had nothing to offer. We don't want to go to some underprivileged country and eat the food from poor people, and we have absolutely nothing to offer in return. Let us get qualified. If you want to be a motor mechanic, then be the best one for Jesus. If you want to be a farmer, then produce food for Jesus, and that will give you a passport into any nation on earth. When people know that you are qualified as a doctor, an engineer, and as a farmer and let us shine for the Lord so we will be fishers of men. And once we do that, people will ask us to please help them, pray for them and lead them to Christ.Have a wonderful day as a fisher of men,Goodbye.

Fishers of Men - 6PM
Jesus begins his public ministry and calls his first disciples.
(Mark 1:16-20) Only Jesus could transform ordinary fishermen into soul-winners! However, this transformation required some sacrifice from His disciples. How can one become a fisher of men today? (0948250222)
Today's speaker is Nathan Lino, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church Forney in Forney, TX. Speaking from Mark 1:16-20, Pastor Lino shares that we have been left in this world by Christ to fish for men.
Ever wondered what it truly means to walk away from a life you've always known for a new path filled with uncertainty and faith? Journey with us into the first chapter of the Gospel of Mark, where Simon, Andrew, James, and John make the life-altering decision to leave their fishing nets behind and follow Jesus. This episode promises to unravel the sheer courage and commitment that such a decision requires, especially when their family's support played a crucial role. We explore how Jesus' growing reputation might have swayed these first disciples to embrace the unknown. Join us as we continue our exploration of Mark's Gospel, delving deeper into the many facets of Jesus' divine authority and influence.Support the show

Everyone knows that it is our Christian duty to evangelize, but not everyone recognizes that evangelization must always be done in connection with and in the context of the Church, the boat of Peter.

Amen. Mark 1, beginning in verse 14. Now, after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the gospel. ‘ Passing alongside the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, ‘Follow me and I make you become fishers
Jesus is teaching beside the Sea of Galilee when the crush of the crowds prompts him to climb aboard St. Peter's boat and request the soon-to-be-apostle to shove off from shore. Little does Peter know that this is only Our Lord's first request. We'll spend our episode exploring the ins and outs of fishing on the Sea of Galilee and we'll get our hands dirty in the original Greek so as to immerse ourselves into the full emotion of the exchange. Finally, we'll round out our discussion by diving into the Old Testament context for Peter's commissioning as a “fisher of men.” (Mass Reading for Feb 9, 2025) /// Join Katie's Jubilee Pilgrimage to Rome & Assisi: https://kptz.io/rome Registration is closing this March!

If the life of Christ is not poured into us by others or we are not pouring the life of Christ into others, the power of Christ will be absent in us and around us. The power of Christ is available to all of us, but we can't attain it alone. We need the Spirit's transformation that comes through people who lead us into the light (power) of Christ.
Sermon by elder Billy Dalton
To some, it might seem dangerous or foolish but to others, it's something they look forward to all year. People lose their trucks, their ATVs and occasionally even their lives doing it, yet each year they venture out on frozen lakes, ponds rivers and streams to pull a fish through a hole drilled through the ice. It takes a tough person to sit all day on a bucket on a frozen body of water and stare into a hole in the ice. It makes you wonder about their sanity! Today, we'll meet such a man... a man with a passion for ice fishing. He's out on the ice every chance he gets. He'll share his passion for both ice fishing and for growing big whitetails.
