I. The Great Commission – Our Primary Call
Key Scriptures:
Matthew 28:16–20
Mark 16:15
Matthew 4:19
Jesus commands us to make disciples and preach the gospel to all nations.
We are called to be fishers of men, not just followers.
The mission is ongoing; it doesn’t end with the first rejection.
II. The One That Got Away – Evangelism and Disappointment
Just like fishing, soul-winning can be discouraging, but we must not stop because of past failures.
Each lost opportunity shouldn't paralyse us — we must cast the line again.
III. Pentecost – Empowered for Mission
Pentecost isn't just about signs and wonders, but empowerment to witness.
The Holy Spirit equips us to preach and make disciples.
IV. The Urgency of the Harvest
Key Scriptures:
John 4:34–36
Matthew 9:36–38
The harvest is now — not a distant event.
Jesus calls us to open our eyes to what’s in front of us.
The labourers are few — we must be those labourers.
V. The Heart of Christ – A Heart for the Lost
Key Scriptures:
Luke 15:4–7
1 Timothy 2:3–4
Proverbs 11:30
God desires all to be saved.
Winning souls is wise — and we are called to be wise.
Like the shepherd who seeks the one lost sheep, we must pursue those who’ve gone astray.
VI. Our Responsibility – Preach and Disciple
Our job is not to ensure people get saved — it's to preach the Gospel.
Our job isn’t just decisions — it's discipleship.
People are always our purpose. We are to go after “the one”.
VII. Equipped to Fish – Prepared to Witness
Key Scripture:
1 Peter 3:15
Be ready to share your hope.
Equip yourself through prayer, the Word, and spiritual preparation.
Authenticity matters — our lives must align with our message.
You don’t need perfection, just functioning faith and integrity.
VIII. Final Challenge – Cast Your Line Again
Don't stop fishing because of failure or rejection.
Evangelism is not about success rates; it's about faithfulness.
Keep inviting, keep sharing, keep going — someone is waiting.
Key Reflection Questions:
What is the harvest right in front of you?
Where has God called you to fish?
Who is the “one” God wants you to pursue?
“We should never stop fishing because of the one that got away. Cast your line again.”
