    The Reinstatement & Restoration Of Peter

    Contributed by Diana Ball on Jan 4, 2011
    based on 12 ratings
     | 16,676 views

    We look at the reinstatement of Peter, using the passage in John 21 as our reference.

    After Jesus finished dealing with the physical needs of the Disciples, He then turned to dealing with their spiritual needs. In these verses, we see that Jesus is examining Peter, internally. Peter had repented and been restored to fellowship with the Lord since he had publicly denied Him. ...read more

    Emergency Planning

    Emergency planning means getting ready for when things go wrong. This sermon considers how well we are prepared for things to go wrong in our Christian lives and how God can lift us back up when we fall.

    Many years ago when I was rather younger and fitter than I am now I was a member of a local Rescue Team. Our remit was partly Mountain Rescue but since the mountains in our area were rather made up of hills and moors this was not the dramatic role you might expect. We tended to get calls to assist ...read more

    The Love Check

    Contributed by Damion Lowe on Jan 22, 2011

    We cannot question God's love for us, it is obvious but do we love him above all things?

    “The Love Check” Text: John 21:1-19 Intro: Illustration: The story of Narcissus in Greek mythology. You see the great mystery of life is not whether God loves man; the evidence is too overwhelming for a sensible person to deny it? But the great mystery is can man ever love God above ...read more

    My hope is to challenge each of you towards leadership. But I warn you that my definition of church leadership that I am challenging you with today is a little different from what you might be thinking leadership within the church is all about.

    Let’s pray. Father, Open my eyes so I can see Your truth. Open my ears so I can hear Your voice. Open my mind so I can understand Your Word. And open my heart so I may receive all that You want me to receive. AMEN Today and next Sunday we are going to look at the challenge Jesus issued ...read more

    When we sin, is our service to Christ finished? He is not only able to restore broken saints, but to use them mightily in His service.

    “When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ He said to him a second time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, ...read more

    How many of you are married? I and my wife are married for 19 years now.

    Jesus asks Peter if he loves him and if he is truly ready to become a disciple. It is a question that Jesus asks of us today. If we know he loves us, how come we don't always do what he wants us to do which is to spread his message to others.

    Our reading this morning comes from the book of John Chapter 21: verses 1-19. It is a story that we might be familiar with, but if not it is an easy story to follow. It was written by the Apostle John, who by now if many of you don’t know is my favorite Gospel writer. John to me is the ...read more

    A Sermon for the 3rd Sunday in Easter, preached 4/18/2010 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Big Cove Tannery, St. Paul Lutheran Church, McConnellsburg, and Mt. Zion, Little Cove. It talks about how Jesus both forgives and restores Peter and us.

    You have probably heard the saying “you never truly understand someone unless you walk a mile in his or her shoes.” As I was thinking about how to approach this sermon this morning, the easiest way I thought I could do this was to have you put yourself into someone’s shoes in ...read more

    We are no different than Peter who denied knowing Jesus three times.

    Text: “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). If someone were to ask you if you love Jesus, what would you say? If you simply answered “Yes” do you think you would positively convince the person who asked you that question? How do people know without a shadow ...read more
