The offer that Jesus made to the fishermen who formed a significant part of his apostolic team, remains an interesting one. My church background is one which has historically struggled in producing fishers of men. The typical progression route of males in the organisation is they’ll be in the children’s activities, and some will stick […]
Read More Fishers of MenIt may not come as a surprise to you to know that I am rather keen on knowing who Jesus is. In fact of late, such is my interest that I am considering how on earth the truth of the gospel of Jesus impacts my every day life. That’s why Chris Jefferies’ series on the […]
