The sermon is from Luke 5:1-11 – “Catching Fish and Catching Men”.  “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” – Luke 5:8

The “deep sea” held a deep lesson for Simon Peter and his colleagues, James and John. In verses 1-11 of this chapter, Luke describes what should have been a joyous event for these fishermen. Jesus Christ had filled two boats with so many fish that the nets were breaking and the boats were sinking! But, instead of exuberant emotions, Peter was confessing his sinfulness (Vs. 8). And, instead of great joy, these disciples were fearful. Christ’s miracle demonstrated that they were in the presence of God in human flesh. As on another occasion, they exclaimed, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?” (Mark 4:35-41)
