We have phrases we use to describe when someone or something is not working as expected. We say something is off the rails when things are going wrong, or if someone gets distracted, we say they got sidetracked. This phrase comes from the railroad industry. A train becoming derailed is a huge problem. A sidetrack is less of a problem. It is a section of tracks where cars are moved to rearrange the train or store them out of the way. The cars stored on the side track are not intended to stay there forever and will eventually need to be moved back onto the main tracks to become functional again. When applied to non-railroad situations, we can find ourselves sidetracked by people or things in life that are not important. Our world is full of distractions. The enemy knows this and will use every opportunity to put things in our way to sidetrack us. These distractions are not necessarily sinful in and of themselves, but they prevent us from fulfilling God's purpose. If we look around and see we are off course, we must change direction to get back on course. Our texts today were Jesus' first and last interactions with the disciples. They occurred in the same place, by the same body of water, and had similar events. In the first encounter, Jesus calls them from a career of fishing to make them fishers of men: to reach lost souls. In John 21, many things had occurred in the previous few days. The disciples have seen the last supper, the betrayal by Judas, Peter denying Jesus, the trial, crucifixion, death on the cross, the empty tomb, and Jesus manifesting himself to them after rising from the dead. The disciples are confused, scared, and unsure of what to do now. They decide to go fishing. They were exactly where they were when Jesus found them. Jesus had done all He said He would do, and now the disciples had to return to being fishers of men. Are you where you thought you would be? Are you where you want to be? What are you willing to do to get back on track? Are you ready to make a course correction?

Pastor Bob started today’s teaching by telling the children of what happened to him during his third grade year. He was enticed by the other boys on the playground to run over and pull the hair of the girl with the long braids. Pastor Bob wanted to be accepted as “one of the boys” so he did it. But as soon as he pulled her braids, the little girl started crying. He felt so badly that he ran and hid behind the bicycle rack and cried, too. May God bless you as you engage in worship. Please feel free to leave feedback/comments to let us know you joined in worship.

Church growth was once a celebrated thing. But, a convergence of factors such as cultural change, publicized scandals of mega-churches and the missional church movement have created an anti-large and anti-mega church environment. For many Christians, big is bad when it comes to the church. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp examines these prevalent mindset against the account of Christ found in Luke 5:1-11. Chris challenges us to examine our preferences and to think BIG about God's purpose for our ministry.

Our purpose as followers of Jesus might be slightly easier to define. But our calling as individual followers of Jesus is a lot harder! Let's see what we can learn from Peter and Jesus' encounter.
In Luke 5:1-11, we're given the first encounter that Peter has with Jesus and it's filled with requests, a willingness to follow, the kindness of Jesus and even more risk! Today, we're hearing from people in our church as they share their own stories of obedience, kindness and risk.

Jesus and Peter gave us an amazing example to follow by looking at several interactions between them when it comes to discipling someone. There is not one single way to make a disciple but there are specific things we must do if our disciples will become disciple makers themselves. Today we will be learning what to do once you’ve found someone to disciple… its something that ALL of us can do!

CrossRoads Church Making and maturing disciples together as a family
Making plans is a great thing to do, until your plans get in the way of what God is trying to do in your life. My experiences are helpful to gain wisdom, but can be harmful when they block God from moving.
God wants to show you that no matter your PAST MISTAKES, he wants to use you in a POWERFUL way to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in our world....YES YOU!
