My Answer Was Yes by Pastor Jeffrey Smith

Mathew 4:18-22 (NKJV)
And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

I) The Spectacular Callings

Exodus 3:2: Moses and the Burning Bush
I Kings 19:19: Elisha & The Mantle
I Samuel 16: David & The Horn of Oil
Esther 4: Esther & The Destiny of a Nation
Luke 1: Mary & The Angel
Acts 9: Paul & The Damascus Road

Call of God:
God’s invitation to embrace His divine intention for your life.

II) An Inconspicuous Invitation

1. Inconspicuous Interruption.

Divine invitations come disguised as inconvenient Interruptions.
God will show up in your routine.
They are Making a living but God wants to give them a life.
Interruptions lead to Decisions.
One of the keys to life is knowing what to let go of and what to hold onto.

2. Follow Me.

God is a better leader than I am a follower.
God invites on a journey.

3. I’ll Make You.

God takes ownership of the process.
Jeremiah 18: We are the clay that is in the hand of the potter.
God wants to Make you for what He has Made for you.

Ephesians 2:10 (ESV)
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
