Fishing Image To Illustrate The Call
- Jim Cymbala shares a personal image of his grandson Levi preferring fishing to illustrate Jesus' call to make us "fishers of men."
- He uses the fishing metaphor to show Christian purpose is winning people to Christ, not literal fishing.
Primary Purpose: Soul Winning
- Jim Cymbala argues our primary purpose on earth is to win souls for Christ rather than primarily pursuing worship or study.
- He insists heaven will contain final worship, so our earthly mission is evangelism now.
Do The Work Of An Evangelist
- Do the work of an evangelist and keep your church outward-focused on the surrounding world.
- Equip leaders and members to see the fields as ripe and to actively labor for the harvest.
