After All of These Years Are You Fisher of Men?

Gone Fishing

 

Let's consider the following question. Are you a fisher of men or women? If you read the following text found in Mark's gospel what do you think of it? Check it out - Mark 1:17-18, ¹⁷ “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”.  

A Few Question to Ponder
Was this for the first disciples only? What was their response?
Does the Lord mean to make fishermen and fisher women out of all His believers? 
Should we all aspire to be in the human fishing business.
What did Jesus really mean?
What does the Bible say about this passage Matthew 4:19?

Tell me what you think about this concept after taking the time to listen to this 3 minute video featuring Christine Caine. She has a take on what the Lord said in Mark 1:17-18, that I would like your opinion on.

God is Right Now Preparing People to Visit Church on Easter Sunday

    The Lord is preparing people for church on March 31st, 2013. Many will attend because they were nagged by their relatives while others had a bothersome co-worker inviting them for the umpteenth time. No matter what the reason they will be there this coming Sunday for Easter service. We have got to be ready.

    What will you and God's people do? Are you prepared for the influx? Nelson Searcy and coach to Senior pastors said, "People go to church because of these three main reasons: tension, trouble or transition." Everyone can relate to one of the above motivators. What will you do when they come?
   
    Let's not try to be cool and miss the mark. it will be our job to serve the crowd what pleases God. The resurrection is enough to minister to the tension people are feeling as they deal with the problems of everyday life. Jesus our Lord rising from the dead is power enough for any trouble people are in. The Spirit raise Jesus up out of that tomb and He can guide your guests and members through every transition they face.

    So, my fellow workers lets get prayed up, prepared to preach the word of God and most of all let's share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Tell your guests that Jesus was crucified on the cross for their sins. That He was buried and three days later He was raised from the grave. He has defeated death, hell and the grave. He invites them to accept the gift of eternal life today. Please brothers, don't miss the gospel mark this coming Sunday. Someone's eternal destiny depends on it.

    He is Risen Indeed,

    The People of NBCC

Another Soul Snatcher

What is a Soul Snatcher?
Every year as I listen to worship music, one song, maybe two will
capture my heart. These songs will literally say what my soul is
saying to God. It will be right on, dead center. These songs are like
soul snatchers. They grab my soul and won't let go until I express
what's inside to my Lord.

Tae, The song we heard last night, is called The Stand by hill song.
Here are the awesome lyrics;

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I'll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

Blessed to Be a Blessing for the Kingdom

Adrian and I are at the "Impact Your World Conference" in
Holt Michagan. We are looking for this to be a great time.
Meeting some old friends, and making some new ones.

I preached my sermon entitled, "Blessed to be a Blessing."
God has lavished His great love on us and expects for our
Response to be do whatever He desires. We have been
Instructed to go into all the world and make disciples. Let's
Do it!

Tomorrow will be more for so many reasons, can't wait!

Check out this message!

There's a really cool message I think you should check out from CompassionNet! "The Lord is near" from the "PrayerLine" series: via @TheChurchApp. Will you pray for five people, and share God's love with them? When the Lord gives you an open door will you share the gospel as well?

This is how we help people to know the Lord who is near.
