Take Heart and Follow - Matthew 4:18-25
On the heels of his great temptation, Jesus enters into his ministry, summoning his disciples to himself and beginning his ministry of teaching, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, compassionately providing for the suffering, fulfilling prophecy and freeing the people from the oppression of demons. As Christ calls us forward, we will make the choice to take heart and embrace courage or we will cater to the fear and become cowards.
