0753 Let's Go Fishing

School season - 50 people!

Exorcism school!

HUMOR - One scrambled, one fried, bacon and toast. You fried wrong egg.

Matthew 4:19-20

1. Following Jesus makes my life better and makes me better at life.

When you become better follower of Jesus you will become better person. GUARANTEE (Matt.6:33)

2. Sacrifice will make sense only when you follow Jesus.

Giving up sin is not sacrifice (tumor), sacrifice is when we give up our life (blood)

It’s not giving something but finding something better. (ford story) (coffee)

3. An interest and involvement in saving people is an indicator that we are following Jesus.

(Jewerly and dress code)

A. If you want to catch fish, go where the fish is.

Story: Bathroom salvation in our church.

I go to the river all the time but no fish = no intention.

B. Put the bait that fish like, not the bait you like.

Story my wife bait is shoes, coffee, sushi

Love, acceptance, belonging is what people long for. Jesus helped people belong before they believed.

We should not be shocked by outsides and then we will not judge them.

Story: everyone shares about how welcoming people are…Old traditional church is cold.

C. Go where fish is biting.

If they reject you, go on!

Leave your family in God’s hands.

D. It’s not about getting the fish on the hook but also pulling it out of the sea.

Salvation is removing penalty of sin, power of sin and then presence of sin.

When you get pulled out of your sea, grip of the enemy will die.

Fish in the sea. Fish dead. Fish fried
