Who do you follow?
Mark 1:16-18 NIRV
Jesus uses our common life to explain his future plans for us.
Jesus met a real need in the lives of the fishermen and they followed him.
We tend to follow after things and people that help us find where we are and where we want to be.
What if Peter would have stayed with his boat? What if he would have failed to follow Jesus?
Who are you following today?

As we live into the Four Principles for Living the Missio Dei:
*Share in life with people who do not yet know Jesus.
*Inspire others to know and follow Jesus by living your faith attractively.
*Grow with others in your faith and obedience.
*Serve others with sacrificial love.
