I Left While It Was Good
In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our relationship with success and God's calling. The story of Jesus and Peter's miraculous catch of fish in Luke 5:1-11 serves as a backdrop for a profound spiritual lesson. We're reminded that sometimes, God calls us to leave behind our successes - not our failures - to follow Him. This counterintuitive truth forces us to confront whether we've settled for less than God's best. Are we too comfortable in our current success to hear God's call to something greater? The sermon urges us to trust God's voice more than our victories, emphasizing that our identity should be rooted in Christ, not in our achievements. It's a call to say 'nevertheless' when God asks us to step out in faith, even when it doesn't make sense to our human understanding. This message challenges us to reevaluate our priorities and be willing to leave the familiar for the extraordinary path God has prepared for us.
