| Summary: What we see in this passage is the way in which Jesus goes about “catching people” to follow him and be his disciples. We need to find ourselves in this story and figure out, for ourselves and for our church, what our next step needs to be as we respond to Jesus’ call. |

| Summary: Paul was compelled to pass on an important message: that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and on the third day was raised from the dead. Like a game of “hot potato,” that message is passed on to us who in turn must pass it on to others. In the same way that Paul could take ownership of being an Apostle with a capital “A” by the grace of God, we are apostles with the same mission. |

| Summary: Most of us would be reluctant to leave everything behind, including our job or our profession, to follow someone we hardly knew. However, that is exactly what three professional fishermen did when Jesus came along. Simon, James and John followed him into the deep and then left everything to follow him to an unknown life. We may not be fishermen, but Jesus beckons us nonetheless. |

|
| Summary: It is possible to focus on what appears to be the main event of a gospel story and miss the subtle but important message around the event. This is true as we read about the large number of fish the disciples caught with Jesus in their boat. There is so much more to this story. Trying the story on for ourselves by role playing the various people in the crowd and even Simon in his boat may help to bring some of these messages to the surface. |

|
| Summary: Peter, James and John left everything to follow Jesus. What is it that made them do that? And what is it that creates that same kind of radical discipleship in believers today? |
|
|
| Summary: Jesus isn’t looking for volunteers. He’s looking for failures who trust him enough to get up and follow. |
