23 however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks--

Matthew 6 : 19 - 33

19 &quot;Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 &quot;The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 &quot;No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
25 &quot;Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 &quot;So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 &quot;Therefore do not worry, saying, &quot;What shall we eat?&#039; or &quot;What shall we drink?&#039; or &quot;What shall we wear?&#039;
32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Gospel Sermon on:
Luke 5 : 1 - 11
1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,
2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.
3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon&#039;s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, &quot;Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.&quot;
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, &quot;Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.&quot;
6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus&#039; knees, saying, &quot;Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!&quot;
9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;
10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, &quot;Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.&quot;
11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

Gospel Sermon on:
Luke 7 : 36 - 50

36 Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee&#039;s house, and sat down to eat.
37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee&#039;s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, &quot;This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.&quot;
40 And Jesus answered and said to him, &quot;Simon, I have something to say to you.&quot; So he said, &quot;Teacher, say it.&quot;
41 &quot;There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?&quot;
43 Simon answered and said, &quot;I suppose the one whom he forgave more.&quot; And He said to him, &quot;You have rightly judged.&quot;
44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, &quot;Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.
46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil.
47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.&quot;
48 Then He said to her, &quot;Your sins are forgiven.&quot;
49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, &quot;Who is this who even forgives sins?&quot;
50 Then He said to the woman, &quot;Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.&quot;
