DAY 2: FISHERS OF MEN: Passion for the ONE That’s Lost
I love the story of the day when Peter met Jesus. You see, Peter and his brother were commercial fishermen. They knew all things FISHING. Well, they were up on the shores of Lake Gennesaret once cleaning their nets after fishing ALL NIGHT long and not catching so much as a minnow. At this same time that they were cleaning their nets, Jesus was teaching on the shore and the crowds began to really press in and He noticed a couple of boats tied up and asked if He could climb up in the one that belonged to Peter (who was called Simon at that time). Peter pushed the boat out from the shore a bit and let Jesus use his boat as a pulpit to teach from.
Afterwards, Jesus looked at Peter and the boys and basically told them He wanted to go fishin’ and bless their business (Ward’s translation). Peter was like, “Master, I’m telling ya, we know what we’re doing and trust me - there ain’t nothing to be caught out there! We been fishin’ all night man!” At this point, I can just imagine Jesus sort of smiling. Then Peter says, “Nevertheless, because YOU say so, we’re gonna go fishing again”.
The Bible tells us in Luke 5:6 that when they let their nets down again with Jesus that their huge commercial sized fishing nets became so filled up with fish that they began to break the nets and sink the boat. So they had to call the other fishermen around them to come help! I can just see Jesus getting a big kick out of this, laughing and grinning, can’t you!?
After experiencing such a miraculous show of God’s goodness, the Bible says that Peter fell to his knees saying, “Depart from me, Lord! I’m a sinful man!”

Consumed By Fire is...
No strangers to the road life, up-and coming Contemporary Christian Music band, Consumed By Fire, are living out the name of their band in a brand-new way. Comprised of Caleb Ward (lead vocals), Jordan Ward (harmonies/percussion), Josh Ward (guitar/harmonies), the three brothers from Oklahoma are living out God’s calling for their lives, to share God’s grace far and wide through music.
“If it wasn’t this form of ministry, if it wasn’t music, it would just be something else. Ministry is what we were born to do,” Caleb says. The band’s sound, heavily influenced by the music they grew up on, is thanks in part to their father’s eclectic taste. Filled with honest truths and the band’s honed musicality, “First Things First,” the band’s current radio single, is evidence of Consumed By Fire’s family bond and the unconditional love of both their earthly and heavenly fathers.
As their single climbs up the radio charts, the band is already receiving media attention with spotlights from KLove and Air1 Radio, praising the band for their“deft lyricism and tight harmonies.” With new music on the horizon as well as upcoming tour dates, the band is ready for a new, exciting year of music.
