The theme for the year will be "Invited To Follow Him".

This is a sermon titled after the theme and Part 1 in the 2 Part 2 Series titled "Invited To Follow Him".

Message: Have you lost focus and needed something or someone to adjust your priority? Hearing the voice of Jesus gives us the priorities He has for us. In the scripture passage, Jesus calls men into His discipleship out of their lives for those willing to leave. These disciples, which means follower, would learn to walk in the image of Christ. Jesus would initiate an invite seeing their heart, their willingness. There's a task He's given the disciples, to grow in His grace and faithfulness. Initiated by the Holy Spirit and convicted by sin we are led into truth, through us others too. Putting all things aside we must serve God, obey Jesus and Him give us direction. In obedience, we are to follow Christ's commands, making followers by being the example. Let yourself hear God, forsake all to be in the presence of Christ to be transformed into a disciple to those around us and the nations.

Scripture: "Matthew 4: 18-22 "And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him." KJV
