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. - Clayton O CT 5 B E CK ’S BA P T I ST CH U R CH COOK OU T J oi n u s i m m ed i a t el y f ol l ow i n g t h e m or n i n g ser v i ce Su n d ay, Oct . 5 f or a ch u r ch w i d e f a m i l y cook ou t .

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.
