In Luke 5:1–11, Jesus meets Simon Peter in the middle of an ordinary workday and calls him to radical obedience. A miraculous catch of fish exposes Peter’s sin, magnifies Jesus’ grace, and leads to a life-changing call to follow Christ.

In Luke 4:31–44, Jesus arrives in Capernaum and immediately reveals an authority that cannot be managed, domesticated, or contained. His word astonishes, demons obey, sickness flees, and yet Jesus refuses to settle down in the city. This Bible study explores how Christ’s unrivaled authority is displayed through His teaching, His power over spiritual darkness and physical frailty, and His unstoppable mission to proclaim the Kingdom of God. This passage confronts a deeper question: are we truly submitting to Jesus’ authority, or only welcoming Him when it feels useful or comfortable?

In this episode, we consider how we often fence in Jesus’ authority—celebrating His power while resisting His purpose. Luke shows us that Jesus’ authority is not limited to forgiveness alone but extends to real transformation, freedom from sin, strength in weakness, and obedience to His mission. Because the Son of God holds all authority, He calls us not merely to admire Him, but to follow Him, live sent lives, and proclaim the Kingdom wherever He leads.
