READ THE SERMON (pdf)

"...the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light has dawned."

As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers...casting a net into the sea—for they were fishers. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of people." Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

Matthew 4:16, 18-20
