Fifth Sunday in Course 2025 The first thing that strikes me as I read today’s Gospel is that Peter and his fishing crew had been working all night and then had cleaned their nets.

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?

Because You Said So

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Aug 7, 2024

Last week, I got home after the message and the question came that although I am preaching on spiritual growth, have i truly explained to what end is our spiritual growth? Today, I’d like us to consider why we need spiritual growth, and what purpose?

In fact, many of you here today, may be graduates as well as teachers in the school of “Because I said so”. You know the school: You ask your mom: “Why do I ...read more
