Contributed by Laura Martin on Jul 7, 2020

Luke 5:1-11 and Isaiah 6:1-8. What is the starting point for Christian service?

Life Of John Series

Contributed by Mark Driscoll on Oct 12, 2011

When Jesus got into Peter’s boat, Peter didn’t shut or shove Jesus out of his boat, he allowed Him in. Allowing Jesus into his boat, gave Peter a life-changing encounter with ...read more
