Following to Become by Pastor Brett Smith
This sermon is about testifying to the goodness of God based on one's personal experience and spiritual journey. God has a purpose and plan for each person, using biblical examples like Moses and the disciples becoming fishers of men. When you decide to fully follow Jesus, you do so even through suffering, taking up your cross and becoming new creations who can minister to others. There are stories of the pastor's own 10-year journey to receive a promised miracle and encouragement for the church members called to testify and preach the gospel with their transformed lives. Action items are to seek God's presence daily, testify to others through words and deeds, embrace the fellowship of Christ's sufferings, and focus on becoming fishers of men through the power of the resurrection.
