I hope this will encourage you all from Sunday night. I got home on Monday from work and a friend sent me this message. Isn't neat how God speaks through many people about the same thing? God is always in tune with us. My God will never forsake me nor will he ever forget me. Truley friends we serve an Awesome God.

Later Jesus appeared again to the disciples beside the Sea of Galilee.* This is how it happened. Several of the disciples were there—Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin* ), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples. Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” “We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn the disciples saw Jesus standing on the beach, but they couldn’t see who he was. He called out, “Friends, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied. Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get plenty of fish!” So they did, and they couldn’t draw in the net because there were so many fish in it. John 21:1-6nlt

QUESTION TO ASK YOUR SELF?
Which side of the boat are you casting your net? We must cast where the fish are! Reaching the world with the gospel of Christ is our primary focus. Reaching our neighborhood, community, surrounding areas, and the world population is within our reach! “Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;” Isaiah 54:2kjv Where are the masses? How can they be reached? Are the same methods of outreach and fishing holes are not working as they once did? Broaden your “Net and Vision” to reach the multitudes!
"While many cast to the same audience, our vision reaches out to millions". We must broaden our net by casting our net to new audiences. New listners and seekers are actively searching the web for help. Can you help them? Can your church reach out to them? How far does your net extend?


Loving All His Children,
