Who Are You?

Your life’s purpose? Your life is not your own I Corinthians 6:21

You are precious to God Your life has a divine purpose and calling- Matthew 4:19

Great effort Fished all night No fruit! John 15:5

Fishers of Men and Women

A life changing call II Corinthians 5:17

Jesus is Calling

No condemnation- Romans 8:1
