Questions for the Fisherman(woman)

This week, we will be ending the conversation about fishing at our church. We have been talking about how Jesus first assignment was to turn followers into fishers. The first few that he selected had experience in the area of fishing for fish, but they all had to learn what it took to be fishers of men. We learned a lot in the last few weeks. Mainly, because we have asked some very difficult questions and found some common places to land.

Here are some other questions to chew on as it pertains to fishing for men.

1. What are the things the world values? What things does the world go fishing for?

2. What are we to fish for as Christians?

3. Is a person a fisherman if year after year he never goes fishing?

4. Is a person a fisherman if he never catches a fish?

5. Is a person a true disciple of Jesus Christ if he never attempts to win a soul for Christ?

6. As a fisherman, do we cast our nets in our backyard or do we go to a place where fish can be found?

Jesus never suggests that the world should come to the church but commands the church to go into the world to witness. Jesus has given us the example - he goes to the people, he never waits for the people to come to Him.

Have a Great Day
