"learning That We Love Jesus"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on May 2, 2019

A sermon about learning that we love God through loving others.

“Learning That We Love Jesus” John 21:1-19 I would imagine that almost all of us can relate to trying to get a child to try a new food, only to have them make a gagging noise without even putting it in their mouths. We often follow this up with, “How can you know whether or not you like it if ...read more

Jesus Publicly Reinstates Peter

Contributed by Ron Hietsch on May 6, 2019

When Jesus reinstated Peter, he expected more from Peter but accepted less.

Jesus revealed himself to seven of His disciples who were fishing in the Sea of Tiberias more commonly known as the Sea of Galilee. For most of us a remote lake with a special fishing hole is a comforting scene. The kind of place we might expect to see Jesus or feel his presence. The kind of ...read more

Do You Love Me More Than These Series

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Dec 13, 2014

In the same way Jesus checked out the heart of Peter, He speaks to us to check us out. While we are hard on Peter for the denial, the personal question is how many times & in what ways have we denied Jesus?

“Do You Love Me More Than These?” John 21:15-17 • Nelson Price is right on point when he makes this statement, “JESUS CHRIST often endures our embarrassing abuse, denial, and betrayal only to come back compassionately to restore us to an even more meaningful love ...read more

When Peter Died To Self

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2013

Jacob had his Jabbok, Abraham had his Mt. Moriah, Paul had his Damascus road and Peter had his encounter with Jesus on the Sea of Galilee's shores. That's where Peter began a new life living solely for Christ.

WHEN PETER DIED TO SELF Jn. 21:1-8,14-22. INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Agatha Longworth, age 78 and rather deaf, had a tendency to shout when she went to the Catholic confessional. 2.

“what Is That To You? Follow Me”

Contributed by Silas Eke on Feb 26, 2015

We should accept it as axiomatic that God’s dealings with our fellow-disciples are no concern of ours. Our business is to watch our motives carefully, to keep our eyes on the Lord whom we follow, and not to look over our shoulders at others.

Tested saints in all ages have been prone to complain like Israel: “the way of the Lord is not equal” (Ezekiel 18:29). Some of God’s dealings seem to contradict our innate sense of fairness; and instead of faithfully discharging our responsibilities, we are tempted to look over ...read more

Restoration

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 23, 2023

We have all slipped up and made mistakes. Remorse is a deep feeling of guilt and sorrow. People run away because of shame. It is God's heart not to condemn. Run back to Him. God loves you and will restore you.

Some time ago I made a large mistake and it almost cost me everything I had. When I spoke to my youngest son he said, “Dad just promise me, that you will get back on the horse and ride again.” My son was only telling me what I have told so many, life is all about falling down, getting up, dusting ...read more

The Lord Who Sanctifies

Contributed by Les Buttolph on Jul 24, 2023

We are sanctified (set apart) on our Way Forward by the Lord, M'Kaddesh

I’ve been using the parallel between Israel leaving Egypt, to our departure from the UMC, and their entrance into the Promised Land, as our joining the GMC. Not to identify the UMC with the Egyptian slavery, or the GMC with the Promised land, but as a means of comparing our Way Forward between the ...read more
