Our summer series is called Walking with Jesus. We are looking at the life and ministry of the Lord using a chronological approach.
Last week's message focused on the relocation of Jesus from Nazareth to Capernaum, which became the home base of His ministry.

We are doing a Harmony Study using The Harmony of the Gospels by Robert Thomas and Stanley Gundry.
A Harmony brings strategic order to the Gospels and allows us to consolidate all the data of a particular story or sequence of events in one place.
A Harmony Study is a refreshing approach to the life of Jesus and the foundation of the Christian faith.

This morning we are looking at Matthew 4:18-22 and Mark 1:16-20.
These passages both deal with the same event and are very similar with just a few additional details.
Our Bible text begins phase three referred to as the Ministry Training Period (6-9 months in length).
Jesus had previously spent 18-21 months with His initial followers in the Relational Foundation Period.

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
20 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
39 “Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
41 He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
42 Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
43 The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
48 “How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
49 “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
51 Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
