All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 9 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Summary
The central message is that true discipleship requires making people followers of Christ first, rather than simply teaching them doctrine. The speaker emphasizes that being a 'fisher of men' is not achieved through study or effort, but by following Jesus. Ultimately, this means leading people from the 'water' of the world into the 'land' of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Learning from Luke Chapter 5At the beginning of His ministry, Jesus taught Peter the lesson of obedience by telling him to let down his nets despite a night of catching nothing.
Learning from John Chapter 21At the end of His ministry, Jesus repeated this lesson after the resurrection when the disciples toiled on their own accord all night and caught nothing until obeying His voice.
Presenting an Acceptable Offering to GodTrue spiritual labor aims to present believers as mature, acceptable offerings and as a pure virgin to Christ, working together in cooperation with the body of Christ.
