Jesus said to Peter, Andrew, James and John “ Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men”. And they responded positively, and followed Jesus, and became something they were not, yet. Peter became an apostle, the leader of the first church in Jerusalem, a model of cross-cultural mission in Judea and Samaria and Rome. James became a martyr, murdered by Herod. John became a gifted New Testament writer; he wrote one of the four gospel accounts, three letters and the Revelation of Jesus’ glory and ended his long journey of becoming as an exiled outcast.

Jesus gives each one of us the same invitation: follow me, and I will make you become something you are not, yet. He has in mind, for each one of us, a journey of gospel transformation and kingdom fruitfulness.

It is our hope here at Firm Family Church that each one of us will say YES to that invitation, follow Jesus Christ, and become just what he has in mind for us to be.

Blessings to us all in that journey of becoming.
