"Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. I have to say that today was a great day back in Jr. Church for several reasons.
1) God is starting to answer a prayer with Jr. Church. You see, the age group is 3-9. And if you know anything about children, that is a HUGE age range to service. So I have been praying that someone would be willing to step up and lead Jr. Jr. church. Today was a great surprise to see that another lady from church had a lesson ready to go.
2) With the smaller children in another classroom, (learning a great lesson of their own) we had a fantastic time in Jr. Church. We sang songs with gusto, the children listened well to the story, were very creative with their shiny fish craft and for the first time we had many kids recite back our memory verse!
3) Although no one was saved this morning, I feel that a couple of visiting children that we had will really want to come back.
So what does all this have to do with Matt 4:19 you ask? Well, all of these things are ways to be fishers of men, which was our lesson this morning. It is quite easy to do. So I challenge you to the same things as the children this morning.
1) Learn some scripture to share with your friends. As fishers of men, our "bait" is the Word of God. By knowing His truths we can share them with our friends and family.
2) Invite someone to church. After talking with your friend about how much fun you have at church, give them an invitation to come. They will have a great time learning more about Jesus.
So rather than going to the local lake this weekend for hours of fishing (and maybe only catching a few fish), be a fisher of men and talk to someone about my amazing Lord and Savior!
So what is it that you are fishing for?
