The Bethany Bullet - Week of March 5, 2017

Sermon: “What’s Left Unchanged”

Text: Matthew 4:12-22

Matthew records Jesus’ call to Peter and Andrew, James and John and we see these fishermen leave their nets and boats and business partners to follow Him. 

So much changed for these men: their occupations and addresses, their present and future, their circle of friends, and list of enemies.  Yet the greatest change was the one that took place inside of them; as they, through the power of Christ and the work of Christ, came to know the love and grace of God.

Our Renaissance at Bethany knows that much will change…paint, pews, stucco, sound system, office configuration, Youth facility, and play grounds, etc.  Yet, the greater change is that which will take place in us (spiritually, personally, and collectively in our ministry) as we hear more clearly His call and go to follow Him and “fish” for Him.
