Sermon #588
[This sermon was preached on Facebook Live from the Hudson UMC Parsonage Office, due to icy conditions in Salem County, on January 21, 2024.]
As we continue our "Following Christ" series and exposition of the Gospel according to St. Mark, we come to the calling of four fishermen, a familiar account in which Jesus says to them, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Not only do we see the immediacy of the response to follow Jesus, we also see an example and pattern to follow in evangelism. After all, the first directive in the call to discipleship was to make more disciples (fish for people). And so we see how we are to both cast our nets and mend our nets, and how we can do that in a world that is resistant to the gospel message.
