Materials
Fishing Lures (no hooks for
safety’s sake.), Fishing pole
or net, other fishing gear,
tackle box, etc.

Activity
• Does anyone know how
to use this equipment?
• Has anyone here ever
been fishing?
• Has anyone ever caught
a fish?
• This is a fishing pole, and
you cast the line out in
the water and hope to
catch some fish.

(Do this if you have
room but remove the
hook from your lure to
avoid catching some
poor fellow’s toupee.)
Display and describe
important equipment
used in fishing such as
fishing rods, fishing
line, waders, floats,
weights, and hooks.

But the most important
thing is missing – a fishing
pole and fishing line by itself
won’t catch fish. You need
bait!

Select some common fishing
lures and explain how each is
used.
1. Some lures sink to the
bottom where catfish and
bottom dwelling fish can be
found.
2. Others such as a fly float
on the surface.
3. Some move through the
water and have spinning
parts and reflectors to attract
the fish.

4. Some look like worms
while others look like shrimp
or other live creatures the
fish like to eat.
5. Some people may not use
lures but instead use live bait.

Application
Read Matthew 4:17-22
1. How is telling others about
Jesus similar to fishing?
2. Fishing lures are created
to be attractive to fish. How
can you make the good news
about Jesus attractive to
your friends?

Jesus was sending His disciples
out to fish for men, rather than
fish. Jesus wants each of us to
go fishing with Him every day of
our lives. We are to fish for
people to bring to the Lord. We
are to tell them how Jesus loves
them so much that He died on
the cross to forgive their sins.
We must tell people how they
can invite Jesus into their hearts
to become their Savior. That
way, we become fishers of men.

Extra
As closing gesture, give
each kid a fishing lure (in
which the hooks have been
removed for safety) and
tape them to a card with a
key phrase from the
passage.

Food for Thought
Is a person a fisherman if year
after year he never catches
fish? Is a person a true
disciple of Jesus Christ if he
never wins a soul for Christ?
Jesus never suggests that the
world should come to the
church but he commands the
church to go into the world to
witness. Jesus has given us
the example – he goes to the
people, he never waits for the
people to come to Him.
