Recap

Rabbi Jason Sobel shared his personal journey from a Jewish upbringing in New Jersey to a transformative encounter with Jesus (Yeshua) in heaven, leading to his faith. He connected this to a message from John 21 about moving from empty nets to full nets, symbolizing a life of divine abundance and purpose. The sermon centered on preparing for a great catch of revival by living from the 'right side of the boat'—a place of God's love, mercy, and kindness, rather than judgment or fear. Rabbi Jason explained that love, represented by the Hebrew numerical value 13, is the net that draws people in and that unity within the body of Christ, especially between Jewish and Gentile believers, is essential to contain the coming move of God. He emphasized that our motivation for service must be love for Jesus alone, as illustrated by Jesus restoring Peter. The call is to be shepherds in our spheres of influence, rooted in both the Old and New Testaments, projecting faith instead of fear, and joining our nets with others to see a multiplied harvest.

Main Points

  • To have full nets, you must fish from the right side of the boat—living from a place of God's love, mercy, and kindness, not judgment or severity.
  • The nets of revival require unity and strong relationships; no one net is sufficient, so we must join with others in community to contain God's great catch.
  • Our motivation for service and life must be rooted in love for Jesus, not fear or the approval of others, as He is the God of second chances who restores and empowers us.

Verses Mentioned

  • John 21:1-6 - "Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 'I’m going out to fish,' Simon Peter told them, and they said, 'We’ll go with you.' So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, 'Friends, haven’t you any fish?' 'No,' they answered. He said, 'Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.' When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish." (NIV)
  • Isaiah 53:5 - "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." (NIV)
  • John 10:10 - "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (NIV)
  • 1 Corinthians 13:13 - "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." (NIV)
  • John 17:20-23 - "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." (NIV)
  • 1 John 4:18 - "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." (NIV)
  • Matthew 13:52 - "He said to them, 'Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.'" (NIV)
  • John 21:15-17 - "When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?' 'Yes, Lord,' he said, 'you know that I love you.' Jesus said, 'Feed my lambs.' Again Jesus said, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.' Jesus said, 'Take care of my sheep.' The third time he said to him, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, 'Do you love me?' He said, 'Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.' Jesus said, 'Feed my sheep.'" (NIV)
