SERMON TEXT: 1 Corinthians 7: 29-31 & Mark 1: 14-20
1 Corinthians 7: 29-31
29 What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;
30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep;
31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
Mark 1: 14-20
The Calling of the First Disciples
1:16-20pp — Mt 4:18-22; Lk 5:2-11; Jn 1:35-42
14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.
15″The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!”
16 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.
17″Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
18 At once they left their nets and followed him.
19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets.
20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
