Jesus Never Leaves Your Boat Empty

Main message: Jesus finishes teaching from Peter's borrowed boat and calls his followers to "launch out into the deep" — to respond in faith by actively using their gifts and resources rather than passively letting Jesus use them and then stepping back.

Key points:

• Jesus taught from a borrowed boat and then asked Peter to go deeper into the water.
• The call to "launch out into the deep" is a call to action and risk in faith.
• Don't let Jesus merely use your youth, talent, money or gifts briefly and then do nothing.
• Be willing to invest your resources and step out when God asks so you can "catch it by faith."
• The speaker urgessomeone to respond boldly when prompted to act.
