| What Jesus Said About Fishing |
| Luke 5:1-11 |
THE BOAT
Fishing was their life
Vessel of life - everything depends on it
From failure to fullness
From emptiness to excess
What's your boat?
THE BOSS
Peter was the captain of the boat
Jesus comes on board
-Jesus doesn't take a place - He takes over
-God's ways are not our ways
-An empty boat is opportunity
-You don't have to understand to obey
-Full boats are God's discretion
THE BOTTOM LINE
Final analysis
Peter's humility and surrender
Leaving the blessing for the Blesser
Fish don't matter anymore
People matter
KEY THOUGHTS
Our failure is God's opportunity
Recognize God as captain
Obey God even when you don't understand
Choose the Blesser over the Blessing

"Building Lives on the Rock"
| I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and the mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:1-3 |
