Luke 5:1-11 records events surrounding Peter’s call to become a follower of Jesus. Peter and his fellow fishermen had come up empty after fishing all night. Already fatigued and frustrated, along came Jesus and asked Peter to drop his nets again. What did this carpenter know about fishing? His request was absurd. Yet, Peter did what Jesus requested and pulled in an astounding catch of fish – two boatloads filled to the point of sinking. This is where true discipleship begins – trusting Jesus enough to do whatever He asks of us, even when it cuts across the grain of our culture or simply makes no sense. If you’ve ever felt that Christianity makes no sense or you’re just fatigued and frustrated by what feels like going through the motions of religious requirements, then listen in to this week’s message about what it means to be a fulfilled follower of Christ.
