This message takes us to the shores of Galilee, where Jesus interrupts the ordinary lives of fishermen with an extraordinary invitation. Through the lens of Matthew 4:18-20, we explore three powerful verbs that define our relationship with Christ: follow, make, and fish. Following Jesus isn't about adding religion to our already busy lives—it's about finding the rest we desperately need while simultaneously dying to our obsession with self-leadership and reputation management. The beautiful paradox emerges: Jesus offers us rest from our burdens while calling us to take up our cross. He doesn't demand we become perfect before following Him; instead, He promises to make us into something new as we surrender. This isn't about self-improvement or trying harder—it's about allowing the Master Craftsman to shape us into His image. The message challenges our modern tendency to let Jesus walk with us while we maintain control, when He's actually calling us to let Him lead completely. Like those first disciples who immediately left their nets, we're invited to respond not eventually or when convenient, but immediately—whether we're tired and overwhelmed, struggling with identity, clinging to control, or grown comfortable in our faith. The call remains urgent and personal: surrender now, be transformed continually, and join the mission of drawing others into the kingdom.
