    Getting A Grip On Life

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Oct 25, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,308 views

    We get a grip on life when we develop the proper frame of mind.

    “Getting A Grip On Life” John 21:1-23 I confess that I have never watched a full episode of the once popular television series The X Files. But I saw enough of it to know that it dealt with the super natural and the unexplainable in life. In its own unique way it demonstrated the ...read more

    Jesus has not asked us to join a religion, but his proposal is more like marriage vows.

    The Choice of a Lifetime Series: A Journey with Jesus (through the Gospel of John) Brad Bailey – May 22, 2011 [The following was not all stated when shared publicly due to the limits of both time and general nature of only developing notes as a form of preparation which I neither memorize ...read more

    Jesus showed the full extent of His love by demonstrating Servant Leadership. How about us?

    How many of you are married? I and my wife are married for 19 years now. Of all the questions that get asked between a husband and wife, the question “Do You Love me?” must be the one that gets asked the most. But I better be careful about talking about my marriage. I have go back home ...read more

    Have you failed or fallen in ministry? God wants you to review, renew and rest in your calling.

    WHAT IS YOUR CALLING? Two Kentucky horse racing stable owners had developed a keen rivalry. Each spring they both entered a horse in a local race. One of them thought that having a professional rider might give his horse an edge in the race, so he hired a hot-shot jockey. Well, the day of the race ...read more

    Following The Master Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 27, 2010
     | 7,569 views

    Following the Master can be best seen by 1) Loving Christ more than everything else (John 21:15–17), by 2) Being willing to sacrifice everything for Christ (John 21:18–19a), and by 3) Following Christ (John 21:19b–25).

    In R.B. Fleming’s book, Peter Gzowski: A Biography (Dundurn Press), Fleming carefully read Gzowski’s writings, studied his tapes and interviewed his friends. Running down Gzowski’s stories, he found again and again that they were exaggerated or even imaginary. Yet, Gzowski was a first-class ...read more

    Love Jesus? Feed His Sheep!

    Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 26, 2011
    based on 8 ratings
     | 13,807 views

    Jesus wanted Peter to realize the ability to do what He was asking was already there, it already had arrived. Everything the disciples needed to complete the task before them, had already been bought, paid for and provided for, at the cross.

    “Love Jesus?” Feed His Sheep! John 21:15-17 NKJ. 15. So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, 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.” 16. He said to him again a second ...read more

    Redeeming Our Denials

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,774 views

    There is a bit of Peter in all of us. We are weak in the face of temptation. We feel like failures. Some people even keep a spiritual scorecard reminding them that they struck out. Jesus is willing to forgive our failures and call us into His service. A

    When We Follow Christ

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Jan 3, 2011

    John 21 describes the dynamics of discipleship

    I am not a good letter writer. It seems as if I always leave something out. When I do write letters, I often have to add a P.S. This final chapter of John's gospel seems to a postscript. The closing verses of John 20 seem to conclude the book. Then, as an apparent postscript, chapter 21 is ...read more

    The Reinstatement & Restoration Of Peter

    Contributed by Diana Ball on Jan 4, 2011
    based on 12 ratings
     | 16,629 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

    Contributed by Richard Down on Jan 7, 2011
     | 5,074 views

    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

    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
