    Many can mark the day of their salvation. At some point they saw the need to ask for help from above and Jesus Yeshua heard their prayer and sent the gift of the Holy Spirit. However life doesn’t always provide us safe passage and a worldly or even religious mindset can interrupt a sure salvation.

    Peter had failed Jesus by denying him 3 times and Jesus forgives him by allowing him to negate each of the three denials. We will fail but when we come to Jesus he will restore us

    Jn 21:1-19 Introduction As I mentioned last Sunday and also on Easter Sunday, John records only four of the Post Resurrection appearances of Jesus.
