If We Will, He Will
Ken Trivette
Luke 5:1-11
1. I have always enjoyed the story before us in our text. It is a scene where we see the disciples washing their nets, lowering their nets and finally breaking their nets.
2. It is a story where we see one moving from fruitlessness to fruitfulness. It is a story where see certain ones moving from the point of giving up to going out and going on.
3. It is a story that reminds us that god can do for us something that will amaze and astonish us.
4. Verse 9 tells us that Peter and everyone with him were astonished at what the Lord did. What is so thrilling about the story is that they were astonished at what the Lord did in a situation they had given up on.
5. It is a story that reminds us that the Lord can do some amazing things for us. The key to seeing the Lord do astonishing things is found in the words of verse 5: "at thy word I will."

2. I felt like this fisherman named bob. He and his brother harry were untiring as fisherman. Yet, harry always caught fish, but bob never did. One morning bob went by himself fishing.

3. It seemed everyone else caught the trophies and I caught nothing so I retired.
4. The story before involves professional fisherman. Yet, they had spent the night fishing and had caught nothing. Now these were trained fisherman. They were experienced fisherman. They knew how to fish and where to fish, but on this trip they had come up empty-handed. You co ...
