Dr. Jim Wicker preaches from Luke 5:1–11 (the call of the fishermen) with five life lessons: Jesus calls the right people, gives the right task at the right time, blesses abundantly, exposes our sin by his holiness, and commissions us for lifelong disciple-making. He gives practical evangelism steps (go where the fish are, use the right bait, be patient, reel in the catch) and issues a clear invitation to trust Christ, recommit, or respond to vocational ministry.
