In Matthew 4:21–26, Jesus calls James and John to leave their nets—and even their father—to follow Him. Immediately after, He begins His ministry of teaching, preaching, casting out demons and healing across Galilee, drawing crowds from every direction. In this teaching, Jenna explores what it means for ordinary people to be swept up into an extraordinary kingdom.

The call to discipleship is both costly and freeing: we leave behind what ties us down, but we gain a new life of purpose with Christ. And Jesus’ ministry reminds us that the kingdom is holistic—He speaks to our minds with truth, to our spirits with hope, and to our bodies with healing.

This message invites everyday people into the same response as those first disciples: to drop the nets, follow Christ wholeheartedly, and discover how His kingdom transforms work, family, and daily life.
