Byron United Church, London, Ontario

So whether you were here or not, last week, we looked at how Jesus was, by the lakeshore and a large crowd was gathering to to meet him, to hear him preach, to see maybe if he would perform any miracles. And it got to the point where Jesus, in his wisdom, realized it would be better if he got into a boat and just was out a little ways from the shore, so that everyone could see and hear him better. And so he asked to get into the boat belonging to Simon who he would later rename Peter. And so that's exactly what Jesus did. And then, of course, after his teaching, Jesus, sent the crowd away and he asked Simon to go out into the deep water and to let down his nets for a catch. There was a miraculous catch after Simon had complained they'd fished all night and caught nothing. And in response to that, in response to having, Jesus heal his mother-in-law sometime earlier in response to hearing Jesus preaching, Simon fell at Jesus' knees and said, go away from me lord for I am a sinful man. And Jesus says, follow me and you will fish for people.
