    Before Jesus ascends, the disciples get a crash course on what is needed to carry on the ministry of Jesus to which they have been called--and they just thought they were going fishing.

    Jesus extends three invitations ¡V the disciples are drawn closer and closer to Him with each one ¡V and the intimacy and responsibility grow deeper each time.

In this reunion by the sea Peter confesses his love for Jesus three times. It is heartwarming to think about the big fisherman being received ...read more

     | 6,536 views

    Jesus’ question to Peter, "Do you love me more than these?" could be taken in at least three ways, each posing an important challenge to look closely at our own devotion to the Savior.

It isn’t a difficult question because you don’t know the answer, but because the answer can be very painful. If you’ve ...read more

    Jesus does a examination on the quality of Peter’s love. It is an exam we all must take as we follow the Lord.

    Intro: cards, flowers, chocolates, even jewelry, are only expressions of love. The quality of love is tested all through the year. Ill) it is like the guy who rode home with his friend who stopped by and got some roses, had dress clothes on, and had a fresh hair cut. He said, I go home every Friday ...read more
