About this sermon

Boats, Nets & Deep Water Luke 15:1-11 Charles Spurgeon wrote, “When god works without instruments, doubtless He is glorified; but He has Himself selected the plan of instrumentality as being that by which he is most magnified in the earth” – and the fact is, that ‘plan of instrumentality’ includes our participation. Jesus calls each of us as His disciples to deepening involvement in the sovereign expansion of His kingdom. This is clearly demonstrated in the remarkable scene from a small fishing boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus calls Peter to “put out into the deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” The resulting miracle becomes a defining moment for Peter. Jesus intends to work with and through an unlikely group of men, transforming them into fishers of men! He wants to do the same thing with our lives today!
