Listen "Called: Living Out the Gospel Where We Are | Peter: From fisherman to fisher of men, Luke 5:1-11 "

Episode Synopsis

In this message, we trace the life-changing journey of Peter, from casting nets on the Sea of Galilee to becoming a bold, Spirit-filled fisher of people. Preaching from Luke 5:1–11, we see that Jesus did not call Peter to abandon his vocation, but to enhance it. The call to follow Christ transforms ordinary work into kingdom mission.Peter’s journey was not a straight line. Through moments of impulsive zeal, deep failure, and heartbreaking denial, we witness a man who ultimately finds restoration not through effort, but through grace. From the fire of betrayal to the fire of restoration, Jesus meets Peter again at the shore—not to shame him, but to restore and recommission him.This message reminds us that our calling is not about perfection or performance. It is about surrender, trust, and grace. Whether we feel stuck, ashamed, or uncertain, Jesus invites us again: Follow me. Feed my sheep. Let me turn your nets into something eternal.
