In this lesson, we discuss the second phase of the Lord's calling to His disciples. They had been called to salvation; now they were called to service. On the shore of the Sea of Galilee, Christ called on Peter, Andrew, James, and John to leave behind their careers as fishers of fish and become, instead, fishers of men!
We discuss some very interesting "Basic Principles of Fishing" in this study - applying the principles for being an effective fish-fisherman to being an effective person-fisherman. Also included is the Lord's first miracle of a great catch of fish. He told the men to return to the sea and cast out their nets even though they had fished all night and caught nothing. When they obeyed, their nets were so full of fish, they began to break! The Lord was teaching them many good principles they would use later when they went forth in obedience to the Great Commission! In fact, Peter's first sermon "brought in" 3,000 "fish" (Acts 2:41)!
