🔥 Rock Harbor Prophecy Conference — October 4, 2025 🔥 📍 Bakersfield, CA | 🕘 In-person + Livestream ➡️ **Get Your Tickets Now:** https://tipofthespearministry.com/prophecy-conference-information/ In Matthew 4:18-22 and Luke 5:1–11, Jesus steps into Simon Peter's boat, turns a night of failure into a miraculous catch, and then calls His disciples to leave everything behind and follow Him. This powerful moment shows us that the real miracle isn't just in the breaking nets or sinking boats—it's in transformed hearts that say yes to the Master's call.   In this message, Pastor Brandon unpacks the significance of leaving our "nets"—our careers, comforts, and distractions—in order to embrace the higher calling of Messiah. Discover how obedience at His word opens the door to divine provision, holy awe, and a life on mission for Messiah as fishers of men.   📖 Scripture: Luke 5:1–11; Matthew 4:18–22; Mark 1:16–20 🔥 Big Idea: The call of Jesus always requires leaving something behind—but what we gain in Him far outweighs what we give up.   #FollowJesus #Luke5 #FishersOfMen #Discipleship #Sermon
