“Repentant and Realigned”

Luke 5:1-11

Sermon Notes 02/16/2025

221   Nothing transcends the power of God. Whether our difficulty is from Satan, others, self-inflicted, or experienced in the process of our obedience, it is God’s prerogative to rearrange, reconstruct, reinterpret, and realign the situation to bring glory and praise to His name. Joseph Stowell Through the Fire (1985)

Joseph M. Stowell

When Jesus calls, people must be willing to realign previous plans and goals, sometimes leaving something important in order to follow Jesus.

Bruce B. Barton

Realign - the act of putting something, or the fact of being put, into a new or correct position, or an instance of this.

Gal 6:1 - I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel

Rooted, repentant and realigned a believer never knows what God may do in a day. - Luke 5:1

To stay rooted, repentant and realigned believers need to keep pressing near to hear His Word. - Luke 5:2

When rooted, repentant and realigned work is worship and a blessing. - Luke 5:2

Rooted, repentant and realigned believers obey and recover from doubts, fears, disappointments and devastations with “But at you word… I will…” Luke 5:3-7

When uprooted, unrepentant and out of alignment people push away what is holy, hallowed and God honoring. Luke 5:8

Are you leaving behind what is worldly and worthless to join Jesus in catching people and bringing them out of darkness and into His marvelous light?
