Thanks to everyone who’s been praying and providing for Joanne.  It is much appreciated.  It will be a long road to a full recovery.

This Sunday we come to another event that Jesus is well known for … His calling of the first group of disciples.  But how He does it is what’s striking here.  Remember Jesus was a carpenter from Nazareth (an inland village) who comes to the Sea of Galilee to tell fishermen how to fish.  Now if you know much about fishing or fishermen, you know that non-fishermen, telling fishermen, how to fish, is not usually a recipe for success.  But then again it’s Jesus … so something amazing happens.

We’re continuing our series on the life of Christ, Walking with Jesus: A Year with the Savior.  We’re in Luke again this week (Luke 5:1-11; 27-32) with a story of Jesus calling people to follow Him.  But, as we should come to expect, He calls all the wrong people, in the wrong way, at the wrong place, at the wrong time.  As we shall see, Jesus doesn’t always follow the conventional wisdom.  And once again, we have much to learn from Him.  See you Sunday, Dr. Dave
