Drop Your Nets

In Luke 5, Simon Peter’s encounter with Jesus challenges us to reconsider what we hold most dear. When Jesus tells Peter to drop his nets after a fruitless night of fishing, Peter’s obedience results in a miraculous catch, revealing Jesus’ divine power. This pivotal moment shifts Peter’s view of Jesus from “Master” to “Lord,” prompting him to leave behind his successful fishing career. James Epperly teaches that this story isn’t just about a miraculous catch but about the transformative power of surrendering our successes and our failures to God. Trusting Jesus in the small things builds the foundation for greater trust in Him, leading to a deeper, more meaningful purpose in our lives.
