In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's will. He highlights how Jesus' obedience to God's will led to his fullness and power. The preacher also emphasizes that obedience to God leads to further revelation of His will, while disobedience hinders spiritual growth. He uses the verse Romans 5:19 to explain how through one man's disobedience (Adam), many were made sinners, but through the obedience of Jesus, many can be made righteous. The preacher encourages Christians to work out their salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that it is God who works in them to will and do His good pleasure.

R.A. Torrey explores the calling of the first four disciples in Luke 5:1-11, emphasizing the importance of listening to Jesus, obeying His commands, and following Him wholeheartedly. He highlights Peter's initial reluctance and doubts, yet underscores the miraculous catch of fish that resulted from obedience, illustrating that true blessings come from faith and surrender to Christ. Torrey also discusses the significance of recognizing one's own sinfulness and the need to forsake all for the sake of following Jesus, ultimately leading to a greater purpose in 'fishing for men.' The sermon encourages believers to trust in Jesus' guidance and to respond to His call with unwavering faith.
