Fifth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Fishers: The Call, Objection, Assurance, And Commissioning Stories

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 8, 2025

“You got it bad and that ain’t good. But there is a doctor in the house and his name is Jesus."

Robert Coles, a Pulitzer Prize winner who taught at Harvard, believes that “the characters in novels can be persistent voices reminding us of the constant temptation toward egotism, and self-deception to which the mind is heir,’ and exhorting us to live lives that are morally inspired.”1 For ...read more

Faith Will Change Your Life

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 10, 2024

God is with us today to show us and to encourage us to be strong in our faith because faith can change our lives.

Do you remember the day that you surrendered your life to Jesus and accepted him as Lord of your life? Can you remember how strong your faith was at that moment? Is your faith as strong now as it was then, or is it maybe even stronger? The Bible defines faith as “the certainty of things hoped ...read more

Droughts

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Sep 9, 2024

Last week I asked “Am I the fear-filled Spirit void Peter denying Christ, or the Holy Spirit filled Peter proclaiming the gospel of Jesus”?

For a large part of 2010 and 2011 our area experienced a major drought. In fact, it was the most severe in about 50 years. Rainfall was well below the seasonal average for both years, with long stretches of 90+ degree days and almost that high for the lows. There was a record stretch of triple ...read more

"i'm A Sinful Person"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Jan 26, 2022

A sermon about hearing God's call and acting on it.

“I’m a Sinful Person” Luke 5:1-11 It’s been said that “Life is what happens to you while you’re making other plans.” The disciples didn’t get their call from Jesus when they were looking for it. Rather, it was at the end of a long, sweaty night, when they were discouraged and ready to pack it ...read more

Go Fish!

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Feb 2, 2022

Jesus tells Peter to fish in a strange place and strange time. Peter skeptically obeys. Jesus blesses and commissions for 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

Following Jesus: Not Safe But Saved

Contributed by Dj Thomsen on Feb 3, 2022

Jesus calls us to be fishers of men, to follow him. He doesn't call us to lives of safety, but of salvation.

This story that we have in the gospel reading for today is one that makes me smile because I feel like I know exactly what Simon is thinking here in this moment. I have had days like this fishing. Days where I’ve been out for hours and hours and there’s just nothing. And we tried everything, ...read more

The Call Of A Disciple (Luke, Part 4) Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 13, 2022

It’s critical that we see ourselves and the calling of the disciples was NO different than ours. If we will not share what we know, are we any different than the religious pharisees?

Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for several reasons -- We can clearly see Luke’s genuine interest in people (career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how Jesus interacts with society; critical lesson for us - Last week, we unpacked the temptations of ...read more

Now You Do It

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 16, 2022

What will you do when Jesus calls you to take a step of faith that is outside of your comfort zone?

We all have memories that are indelibly impressed upon our minds. Do you remember where you were when you first heard the news of Pearl Harbor, or the assassination of President Kennedy? Can you remember the scene of a certain wedding or a funeral, or any number of things? For me, one of those ...read more

Followers Of Jesus

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 18, 2022

It's nice to stand on the fringes of what Jesus is doing and watch good things. But remember that he just might call you to jump in to some form of service.

For the last several weeks we’ve followed the course of just 24 hours in Jesus’ life. It was an amazing time. It started on the Sabbath day. He preached in the synagogue at Capernaum, cast a demon out of a heckler there, went home to Peter’s house and healed Peter’s mother-in-law in the ...read more

They Left Everything

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

We may have strong attachments to the normal routines of life, but God may call us to break out of the mold and give us a life of excitement and purpose that we had never dreamed of.

You may have heard news reports recently about a young man with the name of Douglas McAuthur McCain. He was the first American that we know of who died in Syria fighting for ISIS, the Islamic State. And you wonder, “How in the world did an American end up dying as a jihadi in Syria?” The ...read more
