| Summary: This passage from Luke shows in vivid detail how the call of Jesus works in the lives of those who give him their attention. The call comes in the midst of everyday life. It seems to come out of nowhere, but it does not.

|
| Summary: Jesus calls Simon Peter from fishing for fish to fishing for people. This remarkable exchange illuminates how there is hope for everyone, especially those who, hailing from the margins of society, see themselves as sinful and worthless. Jesus is looking for exactly them ... and he’s still looking today. |
|
|
| Summary: Jesus isn’t looking for volunteers. He’s looking for failures who trust him enough to get up and follow. |
|
|
| Summary: Peter, James and John left everything to follow Jesus. What is it that made them do that? And what is it that creates that same kind of radical discipleship in believers today? |
|
|
| Summary: Most of us would be reluctant to leave everything behind, including our job or our profession, to follow someone we hardly knew. However, that is exactly what three professional fishermen did when Jesus came along. Simon, James and John followed him into the deep and then left everything to follow him to an unknown life. We may not be fishermen, but Jesus beckons us nonetheless. |
|
|
| Summary: What we see in this passage is the way in which Jesus goes about “catching people” to follow him and be his disciples. We need to find ourselves in this story and figure out, for ourselves and for our church, what our next step needs to be as we respond to Jesus’ call. |
