Dennis explores mathematics, faith, and biblical narratives, mainly focusing on their significance within the context of Jesus’ teachings. He parallels ancient mathematicians like Pythagoras and Archimedes and their insights, linking them to Simon Peter’s call to be a fisher of men. The sermon emphasises that, despite human limitations, divine fulfilment is possible through faith and trust in Jesus, who redeems and transforms lives. Dennis invites the congregation to recognise their role in extending God’s love and justice to others, uniting them in a mission of hope and redemption.

PS: The number 153 has no significance regarding the number of people we actively catch in our ministry or what constitutes a decent size fish. In Tasmania, we always think that 12 inches (30 cm) is a good measure, but do remember that when we measure trout and salmon in Tasmania, we measure between the eyes.
