A sermon monologue on Luke 5: 1-11
Today was not a typical sermon – instead I did a monologue as a person in the boat with Simon when Jesus helped them catch an abundance of fish. Simon was afraid Jesus was there to condemn him, but instead Jesus recruited him – and John and James too. Was there anyone else on those boats who might have been invited to join Jesus, but who declined to follow. After seeing a great miracle like that it might have been easy to trust Jesus — but could they trust themselves?
