At Once

30% of Americans make resolutions. 

3 groups of people:

1.  Change SOMEthing

2.  Change EVERYthing

3.  Change NOthing 

Mark 1:16 niv  - As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

 GOD CALLS ORDINARY PEOPLE FOR EXTRAORDINARY PURPOSES.  

Mark 1:17 niv - “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

Mark 1:18niv  - At once they left their nets and followed him.

WHERE JESUS IS CALLING YOU IS BETTER THAN WHERE YOU ARE.

1.  Start now. 

 If it’s important enough to do tomorrow, it’s important enough to do today. 

Mark 1:18 - At once they left their nets and followed him.

2.  Let go.

CHANGE REQUIRES LETTING GO.

 Hebrews 12:1 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. 

At once they left their nets and followed him. Mark 1:18 NIV

3.  Get going.

Luke 9:23niv - Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”

FOLLOWING JESUS IS A ONE-TIME DECISION WITH A DAILY COMMITMENT.

Mark 1:17 ESV And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
