The First Disciples

1.

Today's Passage: Matthew 4:18-22

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

Thank You for meeting us, LORD.
We welcome you into this place.

18. One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers ⏤Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew ⏤ throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living.
19. Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!"
20. And they left their nets at once and followed him.

21. A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them to come, too.
22. They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.
Matthew 4:18-22 NLT

2nd strategy:
Meditation in  WORSHIP

• Begin with asking God to open your heart to what He has for you to hear today.
  
• Read a passage of the Scripture
• Is a miracle in the passage? Is a relationship deepened in some way? Has God stepped in and shown His power,
  
• Has he shown His discipline or even His protection or His end goal?
  
• Has Jesus, lived life, shown love, or taught?
  
• Whatever the passage holds that brings you an awareness of who He is, praise Him for that revelation.
• Give Him glory and honor and praise. Thank Him for what He has given.
• Think on these things. Ponder them. Reread the passage. Write about what you read. Pray! This is Worship!
• Thank God for His presence this moment.
