Congratulations to all the students who made principal’s list and honor roll this term, especially noting Isaiah Smith, Cecodi Bobbitt, Cedarius Bobbitt and Jeremy Williams. I’m sorry if I missed anyone from our church family.
Lastly a word from Pastor Mann. A story is told of two men that went fishing. One man was an experienced fisherman, the other wasn't. Every time the experienced fisherman caught a big fish, he put it in his ice chest to keep it fresh. Whenever the inexperienced fisherman caught a big fish, he threw it back.
The experienced fisherman watched this go on all day and finally got tired of seeing this man waste good fish. “Why do you keep throwing back all the big fish you catch?” he asked.
The inexperienced fisherman replied, “I only have a small frying pan.”
Sometimes, like that fisherman, we throw back the big plans, the big dreams, the big jobs and the big opportunities that God gives us. Our faith is too small.
We laugh at that fisherman who didn’t figure out that all he needed was a bigger frying pan; yet how ready are we to increase the size of our faith?
Whether it's a problem or a possibility, God will never give you anything bigger than you can handle. That means you can confidently walk into anything God brings your way.
Nothing is too big for God.
