Fairbanks Lutheran Church, Alaska

In this episode of The Fairbanks Lutheran Podcast, we explore the powerful image of the Church as the unbroken net of the Apostles—capable of holding even the most unlikely catch. From the shores of the Sea of Tiberias to the dramatic conversion of St. Paul, we reflect on how Christ’s vision for the Church includes all people—enemies reconciled, sinners redeemed, and saints gathered into one Body. Drawing from Scripture, Revelation, and everyday church experience, this sermon reminds us that, though we may struggle within the net, it will not tear. By the grace of Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are part of a vast, unified Church—diverse, imperfect, and yet divinely held together in love.
