Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does Jesus say to the fishermen, and what do they leave behind to follow him?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • When Jesus called you, what did following him cost you — and what is it still costing?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Whom will you personally invite this week to follow Jesus alongside you, the way he invited Simon and Andrew?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Which person you lead could you tell the story of how Jesus first called you?

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
