The Launch
In this week’s sermon from Matthew 4, Pastor Rick explored how Jesus strategically launched His ministry in Capernaum by the Sea of Galilee. The message focused on three key aspects: the place Jesus chose, the people He called (particularly the first four fishermen-disciples), and the power He demonstrated through preaching, teaching, and healing. Pastor Rick emphasized how Jesus’ approach to building His ministry – through changing lives rather than marketing strategies – has sustained the church for 2000 years.
