Luke 5:1-11

Church: An ASSEMBLY of Jesus’ followers who gather together because they have embraced Jesus’ VIEW and His MANDATE.

Jesus’ view: “The Son of Man came to SEEK and to save the LOST.” (Luke 19:10)

Jesus’ mandate: “To MAKE disciples of all people, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19)

“The angel said to them, Do not be afraid. I bring you GOOD news that will cause great JOY for ALL people.” (Luke 2:10)

Luke 5:1-11 (pg. 1,597)

v.5: “Master, we have worked hard all night and we haven’t caught anything. But because YOU say so.”

You’ll never regret saying YES to the Savior who loves you.

Jesus’ invitation: Not just believe Me. FOLLOW Me.

v.5: “Because You say so, I WILL let down the nets.”

v.4: “When Jesus finished speaking, He said to Simon, Put out into DEEP WATER and let down the nets for a catch.”

v.8 “When Simon Peter saw this he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, GO AWAY from me Lord, I am a SINFUL man.”

v.10: “Jesus said to Simon, don’t be AFRAID; from now on you will FISH for PEOPLE.”

v.11: “They pulled their boats up on shore and they LEFT EVERYTHING and they FOLLOWED Jesus.”

There is only one way to know what’s on the other side of saying YES to Jesus.

It’s better to FIND out than MISS out.
