Deeper Water

At our evening service on 25th May, Norman Cameron spoke about the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Christian. He talked about how often we have a tendency to stay close to 'the river bank' in our Christian lives. Whilst the predictability of such places leaves us feeling safe and secure, often the Spirit wants to draw us into deeper waters where we can know and experience Christ in new ways.

In Luke chapter 5 we find Peter face to face with Jesus. While the story begins by the shoreline it does not end there. Peter and his friends had been fishing all night and caught nothing. Jesus said (vs 5) 'Put out into deeper water, and let down your nets for a catch.'

It was as Peter pushed his boat out from the shore that he discovered that Jesus was wanting to do more in him, and through him, than he could ever imagine.
