Sermon Overview:
Luke 5:1-11
Jesus is the image of the invisible God, for in him the fullness of God dwells fully. So when we see what Jesus did with the fish, and what he does for the people, we see God acting, living, breathing, and ministering among us, and calling us to join him in that ministry. He is calling his church to go after people like he did.
