| 0:00.0 | You know, I was thinking about as we were taking the offering this morning, the first in |
| 0:22.5 | first service. I was thinking about Jesus. Remember him? And I was thinking about, I think there's at |
| 0:33.1 | least two stories about Jesus standing on the seashore and the disciples are fishing. And they're |
| 0:40.8 | fishing and they're not catching anything. And one of the stories Jesus asks, hey, have you caught |
| 0:47.2 | anything? Which is kind of common for fishermen to ask other fishermen. If you caught anything, |
| 0:51.6 | like, no, we've been fishing all night, we haven't caught anything. Well, cast your net on the |
| 0:55.6 | other side of the boat. Remember that story. And I'm like, first of all, I'm thinking like, if I |
| 1:00.6 | fished all night and didn't catch anything, probably I tried both sides. I'm just thinking like, |
| 1:06.1 | thank you, thanks for the advice, but tried both sides. But they're like, okay, so they throw their |
| 1:13.6 | nets on the other side of the boat. And you know the story, they catch so many fish in one of the |
| 1:20.8 | stories that their nets start to break. And they, and they've motioned for their competitors, come |
| 1:27.2 | over and help us. And they get all this fish, right? And then I think it's John who says, I think |
| 1:33.5 | it's the Lord. This story is kind of funny because it says, and when Peter realizes it's the Lord, |
| 1:40.3 | he puts on his coats and jumps in the lake. I'm like, don't you take off your coat and jump in the |
| 1:45.2 | lake. I want to look good for God. You know, that's some people are still trying to do that. |
| 1:52.8 | Anyway, the story's intriguing this morning as we were just taking the offering because I was |
| 1:56.8 | thinking about, can you imagine if they caught like three fish and they're like, I think it's the |
| 2:00.8 | Lord. He's always stingy. Isn't it funny that they recognize the Lord when they caught more fish |
| 2:11.3 | than they can contain. Then they go, it must be the Lord. He always does this big thing. And you |
| 2:18.5 | know, think about it. That's all right. That's right. They weren't sport fishing. This is the way |
| 2:27.0 | they made a living. And all I want to say is that if you're in a tough financial place, would you |
| 2:32.9 | stand? Because I feel like this prophetic declaration over you all. Some of you are like, I'm not in |
