The Call of Simon the Fisherman – August 19, 2018

The Call of Simon the Fisherman

When he finished speaking to the crowds, he said to Simon, “Row out farther, into the deep water, and drop your nets for a catch.” Simon replied, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and caught nothing. But because you say so, I’ll drop the nets.” (Luke 5:4-5)

As we explore the call of Simon, we realize that Jesus calls us right where we are, and draws us in my understanding our gifts, our temperament and our view of the world. He then encourages us on our journey, calling us to deeper and deeper discipleship as we learn to rely on his call on our lives.
