    The third appearance of the risen Lord Jesus to His disciples, the restoration of Peter, and the mortality of John.

    A FISH MEAL BY THE SEA. John 21:1-25. JOHN 21:1 follows on from the earlier post-resurrection appearances of Jesus mentioned in the previous chapter. Thomas had been convinced, and there were other signs which John does not innumerate. Perhaps now it was time for the disciples to stop sitting ...read more

    Gone Fishing

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023
     | 1,936 views

    What did the disciples do after Jesus' miraculous resurrection? They went fishing! But this passage teaches us that it’s okay to get on with our lives while waiting for Jesus to make it clear what it is we are to do for him.

    I’ll bet not one of you can tell me exactly what happened to the disciples after that first Easter morning, and in what order. And it’s not surprising. I would have had a hard time putting together a chronology of events if I hadn’t had to preach on the subject, and even then there’s a little ...read more

    Access To The Presence Of God Series

     | 2,892 views

    In the previous message, faith and its function were discussed. Faith plays an important role in accessing the presence of God. In the New Testament, there are many stories that teach the value of the presence of God; Jesus Christ, and his impact on people.

    Faith in God is a gift of God, the one who received, has the confidence to enter the presence of God. Apostle Paul in Eph 3:12, say, "...enter God's presence with boldness & confidence." This gift of faith is for everyone because Jesus Christ died for everyone. Be Confident in ...read more

    Peter and the disciples thought they were going fishing for some fish. But the Master Fisherman used it is an object lesson to catch them for His Grand and Eternal Purposes.

    A rather intriguing and controversial news item hit the news stands and the media in the last week. A mega-church pastor in Atlanta got into trouble with the law. That’s not particularly unusual, but the reason for the trouble with this pastor was. Pastor Creflo Dollar of the 30,000-member World ...read more

    Thomas: My Favorite Apostle

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 31, 2022
     | 2,213 views

    The apostle Thomas gets the short end of the stick when we read about him and his "doubts" in the Gospel of John. He is more like you and I than we want to admit, and his story affirms it.

    When we read of where Jesus chose the Twelve men who would be known as the Apostles, we need to step back for a moment and realize that these men were ordinary working -class, salt-of-the-earth, rough around the edge individuals who had jobs ranging from catching fish to collecting taxes to a ...read more

    God is with us today to show us and to encourage us to be strong in our faith because faith can change our lives.

    Do you remember the day that you surrendered your life to Jesus and accepted him as Lord of your life? Can you remember how strong your faith was at that moment? Is your faith as strong now as it was then, or is it maybe even stronger? The Bible defines faith as “the certainty of things hoped ...read more

    1. The importance of listening to and obeying Jesus. 2. Encountering God when our resources are depleted. 3. The necessity of casting our nets where the fish are.

    Today's scripture takes place on the Sea of Tiberias (also known as the Sea of Galilee). The disciples, feeling down after the tragic events leading to Jesus' death, have returned to their fishing profession in Galilee. They have spent the entire night fishing but caught nothing.
