Message Action Plan“Cast your net on the other side” - John 21:1-7
- Failure and discouragement do not mean you’ve lost your purpose.
- The secret to success is not trying harder
- The problem is not where I am, but who I’m listening to
- We are never far from success when we permit Jesus to be in charge
Action Plan: Do a quick word study on the verb “cast” in scripture. For help, you can go to blueletterbible.com and type “cast” into the search bar. Think about how you could use that verb to draw closer to God in your daily walk this week.
Have a REAL relationship with Jesus – John 21:9-14
- Recognize His presence everywhere
- Enjoy His company
- Accept His invitations
- Look to His leadership
Action Plan: Get outside and take a walk. Turn off digital devices, look around at creation, and have a conversation with God about what you see. Try this at different times of day this week and observe differences in what you see and hear.
“Feed My sheep” - John 21:15-17
- Make loving Christ my greatest priority
- Take to heart God’s forgiveness for my greatest sins
- Believe that you can and that you must make a difference in the lives of others
“Follow Me” - John 21:18-22
- Stop Asking “Why me?”
Instead, say “I still want to live out Your purpose”
- Stop Asking “What about him?”
Instead, remember:
It will be great in Heaven
It’s not the end of the story now.
Action Plan: Pray today for anyone you’ve been harboring a “what about them” attitude towards. Ask God to bless and use him or her more effectively to reach the people in their sphere of influence. Try to make praying this way for others a regular part of your prayer life.
