    Though they had worked and day and were tired, Peter & John were mending their nets, for another day of fishing yet to come.

    MENDING THE NETS Text: Luke 5:1-11 Place: The Sea of Galilee Setting: On the shore near fishermen who were washing and (Matthew 4:21 mending) their nets. There is a crowd of people surrounding Jesus trying to hear what He was saying. He sees Peter & Andrew’s two boats newly brought ashore, ...read more

    When we offer what we have to God – our wealth, our possession, our talents, or time - God blesses us abundantly in return, more than we ask or think.

    Offer what you have to God and you can see God’s blessings. • Simon offered what he has to Jesus; Jesus in return gave him what He can give. • He offered a fishing boat to preach on. Jesus gave him boats filled with fishes. • Jesus rewards him, and bless him with what he really wants – ...read more

    Miracles Of Jesus: Fishin' With The Lord Series

    You see, for those of us to desire to follow Jesus, similar to Simon Peter and the other disciples, it means that Jesus is the Lord of our lives. The Lordship of Jesus Christ is an important issue and doctrine in the life of each and every Christian.

    Miracles of Jesus: Fishin’ With The Lord Luke 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION... This miracle of Jesus comes at a time when Jesus is still calling the disciples to follow Him. In fact, this miracle happens before Matthew is even called to join the 12 disciples (he is called in Luke 5:27-32). So the ...read more

    Every disciple must be equipped to do the ministry.

    INTRODUCTION A disciple is a follower. A follower follows the teachings of his master. His master’s teachings are designed to equip him to his task. “And indeed He gave some to be apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; with a view to the perfecting ...read more

    What Is Jesus Calling You To Do?

    We all have the responsibility to live and speak in such a way as to reflect the gospel and sometimes to share it in words.

    The calling of the Apostles was a process rather than one decisive event. The event we are looking at today is the third time Jesus has placed a call on their lives. That is not to say that the fishermen ignored the earlier calls. A careful comparison reveals that each call increased in the ...read more

    Be fishers of men.

    Mat. 4:19 Luke 5:1-11 More important to catch men than some slimy fish. Peter owned a boat and some nets but his business was failing. Because God called he could succeed catching men. I.

    If we want to be Jesus’ disciples, we must accept his supreme authority as Lord over every part of our lives.

    In today’s readings we have 2 examples of ordinary people coming face to face with the power of God. Firstly, we have Isaiah’s powerful and compelling vision of an encounter with God in the Temple, in which God’s might and majesty are powerfully displayed. Isaiah must have been completely ...read more

    If we heed Christ’s call on our lives there will be a great catch.

    Luke 5:1-11 “Fishing for People” When I was a young boy, my dad and I would take off on a Saturday morning to a nearby lake. It looked more like a brown stagnant swamp than a lake, but I suppose it was a lake. We’d rent a small fishing boat, buy some crickets for bait and go out fishing for ...read more

    God reveals himself to us in common, mundane times. When he does, we become aware of God’s holiness and our sinfulness and we are forever changed.

    Luke 5:1-11 “Career Change” INTRODUCTION Where do we go to encounter God? This question has been debated and attempts made to discover the answer for centuries. Some people have followed the example of John the Baptist and traveled the deserts and wildernesses of the world. In the middle ages, ...read more

    Experience Versus Obedience In Faith

     | 5,831 views

    We put a high premium on our experience in life. This limits us and also prevents us from the greater experience and reality which Jesus calls us to enter. Peter was "experienced" in fishing. But Jesus would take him beyond his experience. Us too.

    You are talking to someone about something, something that you know is true with all of your heart. And right in the middle, of making your most convincing point, they stop you and they say those words that bring a sudden end to all discussion. “ That has not been my experience!” They say. ...read more
