About this message
Drop Your Nets and Follow Jesus
In this powerful Midnight Hour message, Reverend Ben Cooper and Donny Stockburn explore Christ’s call to the first disciples in Matthew 4:18–22 and challenge listeners to leave behind the “nets” that entangle them and follow Jesus more deeply. Through prayer, encouragement, communion, and biblical teaching, the message focuses on faith, surrender, God’s unconditional love, and trusting Christ during difficult seasons. Listeners are reminded that Jesus continually calls ordinary people into extraordinary relationships with Him. Whether facing financial pressure, anxiety, loneliness, illness, or uncertainty, this episode offers hope, healing, and reassurance that God’s love never fails.
