Text: Luke 5:1-11 [the one where Jesus helps Peter, James, and John catch a staggering amount of fish...after they've spent all night trying and failing to catch a one. Peter is in awe of Jesus' miracle and feels unworthy even to be in Jesus' presence to which Jesus says, "Do not be afraid. I will make you fishers of people." And as the story goes, "They left everything and followed him."]
Excerpt from the sermon:"Rejection is not a word with which God associates. God sees us for all of who we are and yet still manages to say again and again and again without fail, 'Follow me. Come with me. Live with me. Abide in ME. Receive my love for which you’ve done nothing and been nothing to deserve. Receive my grace-fueled love and then go live your new life bound and determined to share that same love with people who most need to be reminded that my love is for them, too.'”
