Mark 1:16-18 - This Sunday, we begin a message series on Practicing the Way. When Jesus lived bodily among us, he taught and modelled many things, including practices like praying, fasting, solitude and Sabbath. These weren't harsh measures to separate the strong from the weak; they were gifts to grow intimacy with God and develop a deep well of character and grace. In this week's passage, Jesus calls Peter and Andrew, two ordinary run-of-the-mill fishermen, to be his apprentices. It turns out Jesus can work with anyone.
