Fishers of Men (Life of Christ Sermon 14)

As Jesus moved to Capernaum, He began His Galilean ministry.  At the onset of this phase, the Lord called a few men to full-time discipleship.  Andrew, Simon, James and John were fishermen on the Sea of Galilee, and though they had spend some time with Jesus, they had returned to their secular work.  In this lesson Nate Bibens teaches over the passages found in the Synoptic Gospels that tell us of Jesus’ call to these four men, and His promise to turn them into “fishers of men.”  This narrative includes another impressive miracle of Jesus, along with wonderful lessons about being a disciple!
