This pivotal moment reveals Jesus as the Messiah, but not the expected triumphant figure. Instead, Jesus introduces the concept of a suffering Messiah, foretelling His imminent suffering, death, and resurrection. However, the disciples, especially Peter, resist this narrative, expecting a different kind of Messiah.

But where do we start? We can have a big vision for reaching our community, but what if we each started with one? We will introduce the concept of having a “one” because we if we don’t start with one, we will reach no one. Having a “one” first and foremost means sharing life with someone who isn’t a disciple of Jesus. That is the foundation of what we are calling you to do by asking you to have a “one”. This will introduce the first letter in our F.I.S.H. acronym: “Build a Friendship of Trust”. We do this by doing what Jesus did—he got in the boat with someone. At the end if the service, we will challenge each person to write the name of their “one” on a prayer card and to carry it with them.
