This Sunday, August 16, I’ll be preaching at Greater Mt. Olive COGIC.

The message is from Luke 5:1–11 and is titled “Nevertheless at Your Word: Trusting Jesus and Following His Call.”

This message is for anyone who has worked hard, waited long, and wondered whether anything would change. In Luke 5, Simon Peter meets Jesus after a disappointing night of fishing. But at the word of the Lord, empty nets become full, fear gives way to faith, and an ordinary fisherman is called to follow Jesus into a new future.

Greater Mt. Olive COGIC
6810 S. Figueroa St.
Los Angeles, CA 90003
Service begins at 11:45 AM.

I would be honored to have you join us for a word of faith, grace, and renewed obedience.
