  Speaker 1: sees beyond the flaws. Matthew four nineteen says, then he
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: said to them, follow me, and I'll make you fishers

  Speaker 1: of men. You know, one day Jesus saw Peter casting
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: his net into the sea of Galilee and called him

  Speaker 1: to be his disciple. Peter was not a religious leader.

  Speaker 1: He wasn't a synagogue priest or a man of faith.

  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he was hot, tempered, reckless,

• 0:44
  Speaker 1: chose him to be one of the twelve disciples who
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: would change the world. Why Peter, Because Jesus could see
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that in that poor, disadvantaged, quick tempered, uneducated fisherman with

  Speaker 1: our weaknesses, and he sees the master piece that we

• 1:21
  Speaker 1: feeling inferior, focused on our weakness, is way down with regret,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: feeling guilty from past mistakes, condemned and a shame. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus calls us to leave our nets and follow him.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Don't you dare let negativity or anything in your past
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: limit your life. You are who God says you are.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He says you're a masterpiece. He says you have greatness
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: inside of you. He says you're destined to leave your
