Into the Deep: When Jesus Walks Into Your Life

What happens when Jesus walks into your life? In this powerful sermon from Luke 5:1–11, we witness a profound turning point in Simon Peter’s journey: a frustrating night of failure is transformed by one simple act of obedience to Jesus. But this is more than a fishing story—it’s a divine encounter that shifts Peter’s entire purpose.

The message walks us through three spiritual stages of discipleship:

Jesus walks into our lives – Often subtly at first, Jesus enters our story long before we realize it. For Peter, it started with Jesus healing his mother-in-law and then borrowing his boat.

Obedience reveals Jesus’ nature – When Peter lets down his nets at Jesus' word, the miraculous catch not only fills his boat but also opens his eyes to who Jesus really is.

Following Jesus requires a daily decision – Peter and the others leave everything behind to follow Christ. It’s a picture of discipleship not as a one-time decision, but a daily surrender to live as Jesus’ understudies.
