God Notes

Revelations and insights about God from the bible, others and the world around me.

Not long after he was baptized and finished 40 days in the desert.
Jesus invited people on the journey with him early in his ministry.
He wasn’t “building a team”. He simply said come follow up and I’ll show you how to take what you know about fishing and apply it to something even greater.

‭‭Mark

Wisdom doesn’t advertise. Wisdom reveals itself to the receptive.

Jesus loved showing up in unrecognized form

This is one of His favorite moves.
