Cast Your Net sermon video. The Lord said, Cast your net on the right side. He didn’t say get a new net. Nor did He say get a new boat. He didn’t say get a new place to cast. However, He simply said make adjustments in the direction. When we make a small adjustment like this, all manner of fish will be brought in. All manner of people can be caught if we will adjust our cast.

From The Net parable series:
Fishing in this form was something all were aware as with the soils, the tares/weeds, mustard seed, leaven, the treasure, and the pearl. Fishing was a huge enterprise and way of life. Some of the disciples did this for their life’s income. There were/are three basic ways to fish. Firstly, there is the line and hook, which we associate with relaxing and fun, catching fish one at a time (Mat 17:27).
There was casting a net (Mat 4:18).
This is a circular net. On the outer perimeter of the net are weights. The net is gathered together in a certain manner so it can be spun out making a circular net trap sinking down around fish. A rope attached sacks the net capturing everything inside the diameter of the net. I’m very efficient at those two fishing skills.
However, the net in this parable is sagene meaning a “seine” for fishing.
It’s a seine net or a troll/drag net. It’s a large net meaning from a half mile to a mile of area. It required a large boat to simply carry the net. One end is attached to the shore or another boat. As the boat(s) pulled away from the first end, a combination of floats on the top and weights on the bottom caused the net to hang perpendicular moving through the sea like a vertical wall from the floor to the surface. The boat(s) moves in a large circle releasing the massive net. (This is not the net used in this message.)
