The sermon reflects on the art of being a 'fisher of men,' emphasizing the preacher's need for divine guidance and power rather than relying on personal skill or wisdom. Drawing from Scripture, it explores the nature of following Christ, which involves renouncing carnal wisdom, trusting in God's grace, and boldly proclaiming the gospel, even in the face of potential opposition. The speaker acknowledges personal inadequacy and earnestly seeks divine enablement to effectively minister to others, recognizing that true success lies in God's work through the preacher, not in human effort, and ultimately calls for a humble and faithful pursuit of catching souls through the power of the Spirit.

Reading Service by Thomas Boston

A feast for the worms! Thomas Boston "Like sheep, they are led to the grave, where death will be their shepherd. Their bodies will rot in the grave, far from their grand estates." Psalm 49:14 Do not value yourselves on your beauty, which "will rot in the grave." Remember the change which death makes on the fairest face, "You always overpower them, and then they pass from the scene. You disfigure them in death and send them away." Job 14:20 Death makes the greatest beauty so loathsome, that it must be buried out of sight! And what though the body is gorgeously arrayed? The finest clothes are but badges of our sin and shame; and in a little time will be exchanged for a shroud, when the body will become a feast for the worms!

"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is." Psalm 39:4-5 Richard Baxter: "This life was not intended to be the place of our rest. Let us live as strangers and pilgrims, longing for a better country." "You have no time but what is given to you by God, and it is given to you to use for Him." "Live as men who must shortly die, and as men who must live forever." Thomas Boston: "Since time is so uncertain, we must live every day as if it were our last. When we lie down at night, we do not know if we shall rise in the morning." Thomas Brooks: "The world is but a great inn where we are to lodge a night, and to be gone in the morning.

Let us not dream away our time in the pursuit of vanities." Jonathan Edwards: "Time is far more precious than money, and yet there is nothing that is so much wasted as time." "Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life." John Flavel: "God has set eternity in our hearts, yet how often do we foolishly barter it away for momentary pleasures!" "Man's life is a shadow, a dream, a flower, a vapor. It is but a moment between the cradle and the grave." William Gurnall: "Time is a rich treasure; see that you do not spend it unprofitably.  Redeem it, because it is precious.  Redeem it, because it is short." John Owen: "God has given us a short time here upon the earth, and we must give account for how we have spent it." "Consider the shortness and uncertainty of time, and the eternity th
