Fishers of Men

In the New Testament we see passages where Jesus told his disciples that they were to follow him and he would make them fishers of men. But what does this mean? In this sermon, Gary Smith shows that if we only consider the modern method of fishing with a pole, fishing line and a hook we will not come to a proper understanding of what Jesus meant by the expression "fishers of men".

Gary Smith was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, but spent most of his youth in the Pasadena, California area. He graduated from Ambassador College in 1976 and he and his wife, Liz, moved to Peoria, Illinois. For the next six years he worked as a nursing home administrator in Illinois, Ohio, and Texas.
In 1982, he and Liz began to serve in the full-time ministry. Since that time, they have served in a number of congregations in the Midwest.
Gary and Liz now pastor in Houston, Texas near their two children and grandson.
Apart from pastoring, Gary enjoys hiking, playing and watching sports, reading and spending time with family.
