Just a thought!

Scripture lesson:

Matthew 4:17-22  

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

 18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.   

 21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. (New International Version, ©2010)

Going out Deep 

Jesus called his first disciples to Go out deep, going out Deep is a challenge that each of us face. It means the Status Quo is not good enough, and that the call God has placed in each of our lives is Glowing, Growing and Challenging each of us to do more for our brothers and sisters, Go and serve God in places we would never dream of being at. Taking the time to refresh our spirits, and walk the talk each and every day. It requires a commitment that means we go farther (deeper) than we thought we could. It means we do new ministry while we stop those ministries that are no longer effective. It means that what I knew yesterday was not enough, I thirst to know God in new and deeper ways.  
 
Are you Going out Deep in your walk with Jesus Christ? Are you Going out Deep in your bible studies? Are you Going out Deep in your Acts 2:42 groups? Your Life!  
 
Jesus has called you to do great things for the Kingdom of God. Are you, Are we. Maybe it is time to shake the very foundation of our faith, our churches, and our relationships with each other. Maybe we should start Going out Deep.
