Pastor Mike uses the story from Matthew 4 regarding Jesus' calling of his first disciples, where he states that his disciples will "fish for men", along with his personal experiences with fishing, to discuss evangelism. He brings up three points regarding this topic:
- Choose the correct bait - How we present the Gospel makes a huge impact on our effectiveness..
- Head against the current - If we go the same "way" as the world, the world won't be able to tell the difference between our life and theirs.
- Don't pull up the bait just because the fish aren't biting - We can't reach people if we aren't actually reaching for them.
We should use these points to evaluate our current state in terms of our witness to those around us, and how we can better reach them. Is reaching others a priority in your life?
