“When I met you in Luke chapter 5 you didn't catch anything; on that occasion I told you to let down the nets and you caught more fish than your nets could carry.”
Pastor Reginald W. Sharpe Jr. preaches from John 21 urging listeners to "let him cook" — to let Jesus work in His timing and way. Using the breakfast-on-the-beach scene and pastoral stories, he outlines several "collisions" believers face (familiar vs. calling, fear vs. God's faithfulness, attachments vs. assignments, guilt vs. grace) and calls for trust, obedience, restoration, and response.
“We're looking at Luke chapter 5 verses 1 through 11 (the calling of Peter and the fishermen).”
A worship service featuring a sermon that uses the calling of Peter (the fishing narrative) to teach five life lessons about Jesus' call: he calls the right people, calls at the right time, brings abundant blessings, calls holy people to holy work, and commissions believers to ongoing evangelism. The service included worship, announcements, prayer, an invitation to salvation, and practical steps for sharing the gospel.
“Luke 5:1-11 — Jesus taught by the lake of Gennesaret, teaching from Simon's boat and calling fishermen (a surprising call).”
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.
“Paraphrase of Luke 5: Jesus standing by the lake of Gennesaret, teaching from Simon Peter's boat while Simon had just come in from fishing all night.”
Pastor Kent Munsey preaches on Easter that Jesus' resurrection is not only a historic event but a personal victory for every believer. Using Simon Peter's journey from denial to restoration, he emphasizes grace, hope for those in their 'Friday' seasons, and issues a call to surrender and new beginning.
