Matthew 4:12-23 | We follow the car in front of us. We follow a trend. We follow an inspiring person. We follow our parents. We follow Facebook pages, Instagram profiles, and TikTok reels. We follow so many things, ideas, and peoples. So then why do we follow Jesus? And why did Jesus’ first disciples decide to follow him? Join us for worship as we gather around the baptismal font, where our journey of discipleship begins, and as we are sent forth to claim Christ’s promises for ourselves.
