If you want to know who God is, look at Jesus.
If you want to know what it means to be human, look at Jesus.
If you want to know what love is, look at Jesus.
If you want to know what grief is, look at Jesus.
And go on looking until you’re not just a spectator, but your actually part of the drama which has him as the central character.
N.T. Wright

Luke 5:1-5

Luke 5:6-11

There is something that happens when the CREATOR speaks to CREATION that cannot be ignored.
The same way Jesus called men THEN is the same way He calls them NOW.

We are reading this today because this is how JESUS CALLS MEN and the TYPE OF MEN Jesus calls.
When we recognize our own sinfulness and acknowledge who Jesus is, He also calls us to QUIT OUR JOBS and PICK UP OUR CALLING.
God’s will for you life is RELATIONAL, not RATIONAL.

God’s will is not focused on where we are IN LIFE, it’s focused on where we are IN CHRIST!
Your SIN doesn’t drive Jesus AWAY from you, it drives Him TOWARD you.
Jesus was about to put a calling on Peter’s life and Peter needed to do what God has called all of us to do: SURRENDER.

The HARDEST thing to do is SURRENDER and recognize that you are no longer IN CHARGE.

The GREATEST thing about SURRENDER is that you are no longer IN CHARGE.
Difference between a career and a calling:

1. Our CAREER is what we do for a LIVING, our CALLING is how we LIVE.
2. Someone else can do my JOB, but only I can fulfill my CALLING.
3. Your CAREER is TEMPORARY, but your CALLING is ETERNAL.

Matthew 20:28

1. Today – Surrender
2. Confess
3. Quit your job
4. Put down your tools of work and Pick up your calling.
