In Matthew 4, Jesus calls His first disciples. 
In this sermon, Dr. Sean Cole asks TWO fundamental questions to help us understand our own salvation experience and the need to tell others about Jesus.
Question One: WHY did these men follow Jesus?
The answer: Sovereign Calling.
Question TWO: What does it mean to follow Jesus?
The answer: Swift Commitment.
If you say yes to Jesus and decide to follow Him, it’s only because of His grace that has come to you first. It is because God has drawn you to Jesus.
It is because the Holy Spirit has softened your heart toward Jesus.
It is because God alone took the initiative to save you.
