Come as you are

Matthew 4.12-23

 

Learning to be Church - Week 1 of 6

Six weeks in which we consider how Matthew’s experience of fragile Christian community encourages us to work for the kingdom to come in our world today.

 

Come as you are

This week we hear Matthew’s account of the call. Jesus calls his first disciples and a new community is born.

This week’s reading, Matthew 4.12-23, provides an opportunity to:

  • explore Jesus’ call of the fishermen (AAA & CYP)
  • be challenged by what it means to respond immediately (AAA & CYP)
  • express what heaven on earth looks like. (AAA & CYP)
