Last night, I sat in our churches Ash Wednesday service and pondered the cross that our God placed Himself on to ransom me. It was a wonderful service led by my pastor, Gary Combs.
I was most thrilled by his challenge as he took us to Luke 5 and shared with us what the Holy Spirit has been speaking to his heart through the Holy Scriptures. Jesus told Peter to go back out into the deep water and let down his net. When Peter obeyed, he caught so many fish that he had to call for partners from the shore to come help him.
I see clearly a spiritual typology here. I have been mending the nets after a season of fishing. Now its time to set out into the deep for a great catch. We must enlist partners into this great endeavor.
Join me as we pray for a great harvest. At Wilson Community Church, that prayer is for 50 new members through salvation and baptism, 300 present for Easter Service, excellence in worship and 1 new work in Wilson. Also, join me as we set out to share our story of spiritual rescue through our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Give your neighbors, associates, relatives and friends a chance to respond to the transformational work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Tell them about Jesus!
In Christ,
Tony
