676 | At Thy Word; Launching Out Into the Deep

Simon Peter and the other fishermen had worked all night and caught nothing. Yet Jesus entered Simon Peter’s boat and gave him a command that challenged his experience: “Launch out into the deep.” At the word of Jesus, they launched into the deep and let down their nets. Their obedience led to an overwhelming blessing. God blessed them with an enormous catch of fish and ultimately a personal call to follow Christ. When we trust and obey Jesus, He transforms ordinary people into faithful servants. How has God challenged your experience and what was your response? Join us in this podcast of Woman at the Well Ministries as Kim takes us on a journey through the Scriptures encouraging us to launch into the deep.
