Preaching on Luke 5:1-11, the story of Jesus’ call to Simon and his fisher-peasant friends, Rev. Cari explores the grace that is in this exchange. Despite Simon’s very natural first response to the abundant catch which accompanies Jesus’ word to him, Jesus issues the life-changing call, and Simon’s life is never the same.

With this sermon, Rev. Cari invites the congregation into a series exploring “the deeps” of our Christian faith tradition. Who knows: perhaps our lives will be transformed at Jesus’ word as well.
