Galilee, about 12 miles across, six miles across, 200 feet deep at its deepest point. The place where

Jesus spent much of his ministry. And when you read stories about storms on seas and Peter fishing,

this is exactly the place that the scriptures are referring to. And so today, I've decided to

teach from Luke chapter 6. If you happen to have a Bible, feel free to go there. And I'll say as

well that we're not absolutely certain where the event in Luke 6 took place. I really appreciate

the fact that the Bible tells us who Jesus is and what He did and what He said. And oftentimes,

doesn't give us specific details regarding exactly where He was. I think there is a propensity

for us all to commit idolatry and to worship created things rather than the crater God, just like

Romans 125 says. And I love the fact that we don't know some of the exact locations because people

would turn them into holy places where you go to be closer to God and you get mediation between you

and God. And it's a sacred place. And we don't believe any of that. We believe all of that is

accomplished in Jesus. And there's one mediator between us and God, the man Christ Jesus, God

who became a man. And we don't necessarily have to go to the exact same place that he stood to be

close to him, that he is gracious and benevolent and kind, that he is sovereign, and that he is

present with his children wherever they go. And that means that your living room is as sacred as

the wailing wall in Jerusalem. Because Jesus loves you and Jesus is with you. But nonetheless,

we have chosen this spot to give you some idea of what the scope would have been for Jesus
