Short Sermon: Fish for God – Catching More Than a Meal

By -


 Some people spend their lives fishing for success, recognition, or comfort.

But what if God is calling you to fish for something far greater?

When I first heard this truth, it broke something in me — I realized I had been chasing temporary rewards instead of eternal purpose.

1. What It Means to Fish for God

Fishing for God isn’t about literal fish.

It’s about casting your heart and efforts into His kingdom, seeking souls, and living in alignment with His will.

Jesus said in Matthew 4:19:

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

This is the ultimate call: to invest in eternity, not just the moment.

2. The Song Moment: When Worship Opens Your Eyes

Many worship songs, like the ones that speak of God’s harvest, remind us that every action can be kingdom work.

Your daily life — your work, your family, your community — can become your net for God if you align it with His purpose.

3. Scripture to Anchor Your Mission

John 21:6: “He said, ‘Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.’”

Even when your efforts feel empty, God can turn obedience into abundance.

Luke 5:10: “From now on you will fish for people.”

Your spiritual harvest matters more than any earthly gain.

4. Personal Conviction

Chasing the world leaves the soul hungry.

Fishing for God fills the heart, nourishes your purpose, and creates eternal impact.

I realized that when I focused on God’s kingdom, doors I never imagined opened.

Opportunities, peace, and influence flowed naturally — not by my striving, but by aligning with His mission.

5. Practical Takeaways

Pray daily for guidance in where to “cast your net”

Serve in small ways; even tiny acts can catch lives for God

Make your work, conversations, and time intentional

Remember, every soul you impact is part of God’s harvest

Short Sermon: The Danger of Entitlement – Bishop T.D. Jakes

By -

Some people feel life owes them something. They expect promotions, blessings, or recognition without effort or faithfulness. That sense of entitlement can quietly destroy your spiritual growth. Bishop T.D. Jakes warns that entitlement leads to pride, impatience, and disappointment. When we believe God owes us favor, we forget gratitude and obedience. The Bible reminds us in Galatians 6:7: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Entitlement convinces us to demand results without sowing seeds of faith, service, or diligence. True blessing comes through humble submission and consistent obedience. Psalm 84:11 says: “No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.” Focus on walking faithfully, serving diligently, and trusting God’s timing. Blessings follow obedience, not attitude. 💬 Reflection Question: Are you expecting God to give you what you haven’t faithfully worked for, or are you willing to serve and sow first?
