1. What is obstructing your view of Jesus Christ?
2. Wat are you prepared to do to get a clear view of Christ?
3. Have we acted like Jesus should be exclusive to us, the church?
4. What are you prepared to do different so that other people will believe you?

In this message Phil talks to the congregation about how the teachings of Jesus were:

Finances may seem like an unspiritual topic.  Yet two-thirds of Jesus's parables spoke directly about money or possessions.  In the gospels, one of every ten verses addresses financial issues.  In all of Scripture, over 2300 verses talk about money.

Why did Jesus talk so much about money?  Perhaps He knew that material and financial distractions could become GodÃ??s leading competitor for our hearts, attention, and affection. 

God's message is clear.  Without clear thinking and wise planning,
every one of us is susceptible to bondage to money Ã?? a millionaire as much as a homeless person.  God wants to own our hearts.  But, for many, money (or the creditors) becomes what owns us instead of God.

Join us this Sunday as we continue THE NINETY series.  We'll look at the role of SAVINGS (Proverbs 21:20) in God's plan for our financial freedom and peace.

Is real life all that different?  Sometimes we feel stranded, alone, hoping someone will rescue us.  We deal with anger, wondering why God lets bad stuff happen.  We are ashamed of the stuff we've done, not sure if forgiveness is even possible.  We feel LOST.

I know others who love it.  They invest their time and resources into it.  They enjoy the experience, and, might I sadly add, are quite successful at it.  They catch fish!  I, on the other hand, catch no fish!

After some honest evaluation, I have come up with some reasons why I might not be a good fisherman:

1. I donât care much about it.
2. I donât know how to do it well.
3. I donât know the best places to fish.
4. I donât know the effective difference between a real worm, rubber worm, and a dough ball.
5. I give up too easily.
6. Few of my friends fish.
7. And, a biggie for me, the fish donât want to be caught!

So why track âem down?  Why trick âem into biting my fake fish snack on a hook?  Just to end up in the hand of someone who at the point of capture holds their ultimate destiny in his hand?

I might be open to fishing if it didnât all depend on me.  If someone promised to MAKE ME a fisherman.  (Read Mark 1:16-18.)

We begin a new 5-week message series called GO FISH that will explain how God wants to make us fishers of men and women.  Discover how sharing your faith in todayâs culture can be a natural, regular part of your daily life.
