This sermon from guest speaker BJ Kent presents a compelling exposition of Matthew 4:18–22, emphasizing that the call to follow Jesus is a sovereign, personal, and transformative invitation initiated by Christ Himself. It unfolds three essential truths: first, believers are chosen by God not for their merit but according to His eternal purpose, as seen in the ordinary fishermen called despite their lack of worldly qualifications; second, the call is costly yet empowering, as Jesus promises to make His disciples 'fishers of men' by transforming their hearts and equipping them through His divine enablement; and third, the response is immediate and total, marked by radical commitment that leaves behind all prior attachments, reflecting the effectual nature of God's grace. The preacher underscores that this call is not a human achievement but a divine work, where God's grace changes hearts, enables obedience, and reorients lives toward Christ, culminating in a life of joyful, sacrificial discipleship rooted in the gospel's power and the believer's response to a loving, sovereign Savior.
