Leaving the Shore

Week 1

November 1, 2026 • Pastor Tim Moore • Luke 5:1–3, Luke 5:8–10, Luke 5:5–7, Luke 5:4

Called into deeper waters


Ever feel like it’s never been easier to call yourself a Christian, but harder than ever to actually live it out? Are you tired of staying in the shallow end of faith while knowing Jesus is calling you into something more? What if the miracle you’re praying for is on the other side of a risky “if You say so” step of obedience?


In the opening message of our DEEPER series, Pastor Tim takes us into Luke 5 and the story of Simon Peter to wrestle with the difference between cultural Christianity and truly following Jesus. All of that and more in this practical, relatable message on going deeper in your faith.
