This document discusses entering a new "Season of Building" after a decade of laying foundations. It references Jesus calling Simon Peter and others to be "fishers of men" after a miraculous catch of fish. Four types of spiritual experiences are outlined: being "On Fire" for God, feeling "Tired", having "Given Up", or being "Non-starters". Parallels are drawn between work satisfaction and the church - finding fulfillment through knowing God rather than rules. The passage encourages persevering in good works to reap eternal rewards.
8. Luke 5: 4 - 5 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
9. Luke 5: 6 - 7 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
10. Luke 5: 8 - 9 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.
11. Luke 5: 8 - 11 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.
12. Four types of experience … ‘On Fire’ for God … On mission and on message ‘Tired’ … Jaded leaders, God no longer in 1st place ‘Given Up’ …Drifting, cynical, indifferent to God ‘Non-starters’ …Lack understanding / relationship
13. Kingdom parallels, between work/church A simple message … You can know God A good experience … Relationship not rules Advocates for product …Something to share The only ultimately satisfying and fulfilling experience available in this life is to know God and relate to Him.
14. Galatians 6: 7- 10 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
