Asking The Right Questions Series

Contributed by David Smith on Aug 7, 2009

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus. When they had found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus replied t

A wise person once told me that what you see in life depends on what you are looking at, and that what you hear depends on who you listen to, just as the answers you get depend largely on the questions you ask. Now I do apologize for beginning my sermon with such a ponderous set of philosophical ...read more

Self-Righteous Delusion

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 20, 2019

Do we constantly criticize others? Do we constantly compare ourselves to others to justify ourselves? Let’s learn that we are all in the same boat and that God alone justifies. Let’s discuss self-righteousness and self-justification in Luke 18:9-14.

When You Find Yourself In A Storm

Contributed by Michael Duduit on Mar 3, 2008

It’s probably been a busy day of ministry for Jesus and His disciples when He tells them to follow Him to the lake – what we call the Sea of Galilee. They are going to the other side – about six miles across – and they haven’t been in the boat long before

A Voice From The Beach

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 29, 2014

A perspective on John 21: 1-14. Like the disciples in the boat who listened to the voice of a ‘stranger’ from the beach, somehow you too will know at the right time where to ‘cast the net.’ At that time, you too will say with joy, “It is the Lord.”

John 21: 1-14 A Voice From The Beach The Gospel according to John closes with one more miracle given by Jesus. Although it is the final miracle recorded in the Gospel, it is the first of his resurrected life. It happened this way: Some of the disciples of Jesus were sitting about on the shore by ...read more

"Fishermen: Jesus Gives Them A Do Over”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 2, 2022

"Do Overs" We all have them. The disciples got a "do over", because Jesus was in the boat. Jesus makes people different. Making people different is why Jesus was born. Quote by a man who will not get a "do over" on Judgment day.

In Jesus Holy Name February 6, 2022 Luke 5:1-11 Redeemer “Fishermen: Jesus Gives Them a Do Over” Do over days. Have you ever had one? You would be a most unusual person if you didn't have a few do over days in your history. Think back. Come on. Be honest. I'm talking ...read more

Cast Your Nets Deep! Series

Contributed by Clair Sauer on Aug 1, 2012

Jesus climbs in the boat with us; he steps into our lives, our homes, our workplaces, and he says, “I want you to come with me." We can try and run from it and throw out all the excuses we want, but that doesn’t change God’s call.

You know, summer is a great time to go fishing. In fact, a couple of weeks ago when I was at my sister’s house for my nephew’s baptism, we saw two boys walk by the house two or three times with fishing poles slung over their shoulders and tackle boxes in their hands. They were headed ...read more

Jesus Through The Eyes Of Peter

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 5, 2022

What would it be like to meet Jesus? The Bible gives us an insight by exposing us to those who knew Him best. We look at 6 ways Jesus made known to Peter: through his brother, at Peter's house, in Peter's boat, his fishing rod, his sword, & his heart.

JESUS THROUGH THE EYES OF PETER INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: DEER SEASON HUMOR 1. A preacher, a lawyer, and a doctor went hunting together. They all shot the same deer at the same time. So when they went to tag it, they couldn't decide who could claim it, since all three had shot at the same ...read more

The Wrap And The Woof

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Apr 14, 2013

I have heard it said: “living for God easy is hard; living for God hard is easy.” It is the difference between getting in the boat and setting down and standing on the edge and trying not to fall out. The latter isn’t a question of ‘if’ you fall out, it

Let’s Go Fishing Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 7, 2013

The best fishermen often have expensive rods and reels and lures. But these are only tools. If those tools don’t help them catch fish, they’re worthless. What tools do we use to "catch" souls for Jesus and how does Jesus turn us into "fishers of men"?

A couple of guys named Ed and Fred had gone fishing for the very first time in their lives. They went out and bought themselves a couple of rods and reels, went down to the lake and rented a boat at the boat rental place and rowed out to a likely place and let down their anchor. They’d read ...read more

The Foundation Of Faith Series

Contributed by James Lee on Dec 7, 2011

I learned when I’m fishing on the ocean, and I get out where I no longer see the shore, I must place my trust in the captain of the boat…I want to get so far off shore, with Jesus, that all I can do is trust the Captain of my ship. adapted from a sermon

A Life Built on Faith: “Faith’s Foundation” Matthew 13:53-58 A man named Gregory P. Elder told of growing up on the Atlantic Coast.

A Voyage Of Faith Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 24, 2021

Noah believed God, and he built an Ark to save his family. What can learn from Noah's faith, and what is there in the story of God's judgment that we need to share with the world?

(I opened by pretending to read a children story about Noah. Then I read Hebrews 11:7) “By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household.” PRAYER Now, the first part of Hebrews 11:7 tells us that God WARNED ...read more

The Gift That Redeems Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 18, 2021

Anna told others that "the redemption of Jerusalem" had come. And that's what Jesus had come to do - redeem the lost. But what does "redeem" mean, and why should it matter to us?
