It’s Not About the Fish — Helen Henzell | Luke 5:1–11

In this sermon, Helen Henzell leads us through the well known moment in Luke 5:1–11 where Jesus steps into Simon Peter’s boat, teaches the crowds, and then commands the weary fishermen to let down their nets once more. What follows is the miraculous catch — but as Helen reminds us, it’s not about the fish. This story reveals something far greater: who Jesus is, and how people respond when His authority, power, and presence break into ordinary life. Simon obeys Jesus not because the timing makes sense, but simply “because you say so.” And in that moment of obedience, he encounters the holy, powerful, compassionate Lord who commands creation itself. The miraculous catch becomes the turning point where Simon truly sees Jesus — and where Jesus calls Simon, James, and John into a new mission: to follow Him and “fish for people.” In this sermon you’ll be encouraged to: • See Jesus’ authority over creation and His power to transform lives • Recognise the excuses that keep us from taking Jesus at His word • Reflect on Simon Peter’s response: humility, awe, and trust in Jesus’ call • Understand God’s rescue plan — to free us from the captivity of sin through Jesus’ sacrifice • Hear Jesus’ invitation to follow Him with confidence, wherever we are and whatever we do This moment by the lake is not just about nets and fish — it’s about seeing Jesus clearly, trusting Him deeply, and stepping into the life and purpose He calls us to. 💬 Subscribe for more sermons, or visit www.ormondanglican.org.au https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...
