Guest speaker Jonathan Domingo from Far Reaching Ministries shares updates on global missions before unpacking the transformation of Peter in Luke 5:1-11. Examining the miraculous catch of fish, he reveals how Jesus moves believers from superficial faith to purpose-filled discipleship.

The message highlights four key truths:

1. Being with Jesus does not necessarily mean you know Jesus.
2. It is in deep waters where you will find Him.
3. Before He commissions you, He will allow you to come to the end of yourself.
4. We ought to leave all to follow Him.

Listeners are challenged to trust God through trials, embrace humility, and live boldly for the Kingdom, knowing obedience to Christ is worth any cost.

In Luke 12:1-7, Jesus issues a stern warning to His disciples to beware of the "leaven of the Pharisees," which is hypocrisy, reminding them that nothing covered remains hidden forever. Pastor Scotty Brown explains that while hypocrisy puffs up like yeast, a life of transparency leads to freedom from the fear of man. Since God has the final authority over eternity, He is the only One we should fear--yet He cares for us so intimately that even the hairs of our head are numbered.

The message challenges believers to:

• Avoid the trap of "leaven" by living authentically
• Bring secrets into the light through confession
• Trust in God's sovereignty over earthly threats

Believers are encouraged to live what they believe, knowing that the fear of the Lord conquers all other fears.
