19 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”
19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY WE TRADE RESCUING FOR RELAXING — LIFE RINGS FOR LOUNGE CHAIRS — WE ARE CALLED TO GO

10 For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”
We are called to FISH — WE NEED TO BE PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT JESUS IS PASSIONATE ABOUT — That’s why we are not ZAPPED UP right away when we come to know Jesus — WE HAVE A PURPOSE

IM ALWAYS PREPARED TO GO THE MOVIES — AVOID WATER — GO TO THE BATHROOM — GET POPCORN - LAYERRRRRRS — DIET COKE — GET THE RIGHT SEAT
WE NEED TO ALWAYS BE READY — TOO MANY CHRISTIANS SIT ON THE SIDELINES — @ NEW PURPOSE WE WANT TO BE COMFORTABLY UNCOMFORTABLE --
15 Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.
There are people waiting to hear about the hope you have — WAITING to hear why you have given your life to someone you cannot see
16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
