Pastor Wes reflects on Luke 5:1-11, where Jesus calls Simon, James, and John to follow him after a miraculous catch of fish. He highlights Simon’s initial feelings of failure and doubt, the vulnerability of “deep water” as a metaphor for faith, and Jesus’ call to ordinary people to discipleship. Pastor Wes emphasizes that living our belovedness involves not only personal growth but also participating in community. He challenges the congregation to embrace discipleship as a shared journey, marked by welcoming, worship, caring, belonging, justice, and faithfulness, growing in the image of God for the sake of others.
