SCRIPTURE:
V3b So they went out and got into a boat, but that night they caught nothing. 4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
V5 He called out to them, “Friends/children, haven’t you any fish?” “No,” they answered. 6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. 7 Then the disciples whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “IT is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 9When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. 11 Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.
Sermon Points:
1. Without Jesus we can do nothing
2. Purpose in emptiness
3. Jesus loves you
