Each week we have a bottom line that pulls together
the Bible story and the real life application, this week the bottom line was:
God wants to do something with me
that's bigger than just me!
We talked about Jesus calling Peter to follow Him.
After fishing all night without catching a thing, Peter, John and James
returned to the shore exhausted and frustrated. Jesus, who had been preaching
to a crowd on the shore of the sea of Galilee, asked Peter to take him out in
the boat so that He could reach the entire crowd. After delivering His message,
Jesus told Peter to go to the deep water and cast out his nets. Peter responded
in obedience and pulled in more fish that he could handle. After seeing God's
power and providence, Peter cried to Jesus, "Depart from me, for I am a
sinful man, O Lord", and Jesus called Peter to follow him and become a
fisher of men. The story was from Luke 5:1-11.
To illustrate these points, we learned how static
electricity can pull unlikely things together, much like how Jesus called an
unlikely fisherman to be zapped by His power. We also had a snack that taught
us how to fish with patience and reap the reward!
Here are some pictures from the week:
