Sermons on Lukas 5:4:

God Is Love, And We Are Not

Contributed by Randall Long on May 30, 2019

A lot of us go through life with a watered-down idea of what God's love is. We will look at two incidents from the Gospel of Luke in which someone met that love face to face to help us understand both His love and His holiness.

There is a saying that appears a few times in the Old Testament. Proverbs 9:10 puts it like this: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom". Other verses use slightly different wording, but they all declare the value of the "fear of the LORD". I was troubled by that ...read more

Are You Confident To Serve?

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?

Today’s gospel reading is probably very familiar to you. If you attended Sunday school as a child, it is a Bible story that is popular to tell children. But familiarity can create blindness. In our familiarity with something, we can fail to see what is there. I enjoyed studying to prepare this ...read more

A Sinner Saved

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 8, 2018

A miraculous catch of fish, and the commencement of the Church's ministry.

A SINNER SAVED. Luke 5:1-11. I can remember reading a quaint old book by a Puritan whose only acknowledged qualification for conducting a Christian ministry was, ‘Sinner Saved’. Without that we are either honestly mistaken, or really just charlatans and frauds! This begs the question, ‘What ...read more

All Or Nothing Faith

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 3, 2019

When Jesus shows up at Peter's work, Jesus destroys the artificial divide between sacred and secular. Wherever the Lord is, is ripe for a miracle. And if our life belongs to the Lord, he is welcome to any and all of it.

Lessons From A Church 8 Years Away From Death

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Feb 10, 2019

Is our church focussed on what it's members prefer? Or we are fishers of people who get out of bed on a cold dark night because that is what fish prefer?

“To say that the room was tense would be a massive understatement. It was eight years before the death of the church, but few in that room could have predicted the church’s demise. The church had bounced back a bit during the past year. Since most of the members would not allow any {change to the ...read more
