“Then He said to them, “Follow Me,
and I will make you fishers of men.”
Matthew 4:19 (NKJV)
The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty;
Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice.
He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide,And trembles at His voice, and trembles at His voice.

Living for Jesus a life that is true; striving to please him
in all that I do, yielding allegiance, gladhearted and free,
this is the pathway of blessing for me.
“Living For Jesus”
O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to thee;
for thou, in thine atonement, didst give thyself for me; I own no other master,
my heart shall be thy throne, My life I give, henceforth to live,
O Christ for thee alone.
“Living For Jesus”
Living for Jesus who died in my place,
bearing on Calvary my sin and disgrace, such love constrains me
to answer his call, follow his leading
and give him my all.
“Living For Jesus”
O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to thee;
for thou, in thine atonement, didst give thyself for me; I own no other master,
my heart shall be thy throne, My life I give, henceforth to live,
O Christ for thee alone.
“Living For Jesus”
Living for Jesus thro’ earth's little while,
my dearest treasure, the light of his smile, seeking the lost ones he died to redeem,
bringing the wearyto find rest in him.
“Living For Jesus”
O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to thee;
for thou, in thine atonement, didst give thyself for me; I own no other master,
my heart shall be thy throne, My life I give, henceforth to live,
O Christ for thee alone.

1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He
showed Himself: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael
of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His
disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going
fishing."
They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and
immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. 4 But
when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any food?"
They answered Him, "No." 6 And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now
they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
John 21:1-6 (NKJV)
WHY WE STOP FISHING!
Pastor GrooverApril 22, 2007
I. BECAUSE WE FEEL CONFIDENT IN OUR
MINISTRY
1 After this, Jesus revealed Himself again to His disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed Himself in this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called
“Twin”), Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two
others of His disciples were together.
3 “I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them. “We’re coming with you,”
they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they
caught nothing. John 21:1-3 (HCSB)
• EXPERIENCE• EXCITEMENT• EQUIPMENT
II. BECAUSE WE FORSAKE CHRIST IN OUR
MINISTRY
4 At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn’t see
who he was. 5 He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?”
“No,” they replied.John 21:4-5 (NLT)
• ACTIVITY• ASSUMPTION
III. BECAUSE WE FEAR CHANGE IN OUR
MINISTRY
And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and
now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish. John
21:6 (NKJV)
CONCLUSIONIt is God’s will for every
church to grow, glow and go for the glory of
God. There are more fish in the sea.
Take up thy cross and follow me, I heard my Master say,
I gave my life to ransom thee, surrender your all today.
Wherever He leads, I'll go, Wherever He leads, I'll go;
I'll follow my Christ Who loves me so,
Wherever He leads, I'll go.
“Wherever He Leads I’ll Go”
He drew me closer to His side, I sought His will to know,
and in that will I now abide; wherever He leads, I'll go.
Wherever He leads, I'll go, Wherever He leads, I'll go;
I'll follow my Christ Who loves me so,
Wherever He leads, I'll go.
“Wherever He Leads I’ll Go”
It may be thro’ the shadows dim or o'er the stormy sea,
I take my cross and follow Him wherever He leadeth me.
Wherever He leads, I'll go, Wherever He leads, I'll go;
I'll follow my Christ Who loves me so,
Wherever He leads, I'll go.
“Wherever He Leads I’ll Go”
My heart, my life, my all I bring to Christ Who loves me so.
He is my Master, Lord, and King; wherever He leads, I'll go.
Wherever He leads, I'll go, Wherever He leads, I'll go;
I'll follow my Christ Who loves me so,
Wherever He leads, I'll go.
“Wherever He Leads I’ll Go”
