    If we are honest we can all admit to having moments like Peter when we want to turn back to the old life. Go back to fishing instead of living for Christ. But friend: that can never be for you or me.

    Jesus restores us John Chapter 21 Last week we celebrated Easter and how Jesus rose from the dead and how He presented himself to the men and women who followed him. Today we look at what is regarded as Jesus third appearance to the Disciples. It is a week later so it is another Sunday morning. ...read more

    I thought it fitting that we challenge not just the student ministry but all here to rise up and get in our places.
