Gardens…
“Gardens, scholars say, are the first sign of commitment
to a community. When people plant corn they are saying, let’s stay here. And by their connection to the land
they are connected to one another.” – Ann Raver
For a church, the commitment to a community of believers seems to be their commitment to Christ and the
Time they give. When we give our time, which is the
most precious thing we have, we are saying that we
value what is going on and the people with which we will
be involved. This Sunday we will have a chance to continue to build our Beck’s Baptist Church community by
fellowshipping together at our church wide cookout.
Come plant community with our church family by giving
of your time by eating and building relationships.

Sunday of this past week we had a
children’s sermon during our regular worship hour. I always
enjoy these brief moments with the children. The children’s
sermons always allow us to hear God’s word as the simple
truth God intends for His message.
The children’s sermon this past week had two parts.
However, only one part was presented. If you were present
you may recall how we talked about Christ telling Simon
Peter, James and John to cast their nets to catch fish. They
replied that they had fished all night and knew there were no
fish to be caught. However, they cast their nets and the
catch was overwhelming. Christ then challenged the
fishermen that he would make them “catchers of men”. This
led to the first part of my illustration: We are all different
and do different things. But, no matter where we are, no
matter how we perceive our surroundings, we can use our
fishing ability to catch men for Jesus.
The second illustration that I wanted to share had to do with
“fishing bait”. Simon Peter and his fishing partners cast the
net where Jesus told them to cast. These fishermen found
fish where fish are: swimming in the water being fish. The
fishermen did not have to trick them or put some type of bait
in the water, they simply cast their net where the fish were.
I had some fishing lures to show the children. After
showing these lures, I was going to explain that they were
just artificial forms of fish food. In other words, these lures
were just traps or misconception of what the fish were
looking for.
It is important to remember that God through His word and
His son, Jesus, will always show us the truth. He never
offers us something artificial or tries to “trick” us into
believing in Him. Have you ever told yourself, “It is of no
use to invite someone to come to church. They would not
want to come. We don’t have anything special to offer
them.” This is far from the truth!! WE have Christ to offer
them. WE have the truth of the Gospel, the truth that sin is
forgiven through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Don’t you
think that is worth the invitation?
Christ asked Simon Peter to cast his net. This request for a
fisherman was a simple request. This was something Simon
Peter could do in his sleep. He had been fishing since he
was a small boy. He knew how to fish, he knew where to
look for fish, he knew how many fish his net would hold.
What he did not know, was the joy of following Christ and
His commandments. He learned how to be “a fisherman of
men”.
Where is Christ telling you to cast your net? Remember, he
is not asking you to do something you can’t do, He is just
asking you to follow Him.
Yours in Christ,
Michael M. Styers
