Becoming a Fisher of Men
When Jesus told Simon Peter that he would be a “fisher of men”, Jesus told Simon to not be afraid. Why would he need to say that? Probably for the same reason we feel fear or anxiety when we think about telling other people about Jesus. Evangelism can be a frightening thing. But, it doesn’t have to be. Listen as Pastor Bob talks about how easy it is to be a “fisher of men.”

God's Reassurance
When your heart lacks confidence in your salvation, you can turn to God's Word for reassurance. (Note: Following the sermon (and before the communion service), Pastor Bob realized he left out a key point--there is a distinct difference between guilt and shame. Guilt is recognizing that one has harmed another; shame is self-condemnation. God will cause guilt; God will never shame anyone. If you are experiencing shame, it is not from God.)
