    Start The Day With A Good Breakfast. Especially When Jesus Is The Cook!

    Contributed by Roger Whipp on Jan 27, 2015

    Don't be disilluioned or give up the faith. Jesus will always be there in our hour of need. Don't be so super spiritual that you retreat away from the realities of daily life.

    When Paul the Vicar told me what passage I was to preach on, at first glance I though it could be an early night and I’ll get home to see the start of Heartbeat! However as I spent time with the Lord & meditating on the passage I realised there is a lot more to it than just Jesus cooking ...read more

    “what Is That To You? Follow Me”

    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

    Jesus Final Words To Peter In John's Gospel

     | 6,315 views

    Peter, mind your own business

    Sermon Jn 21. 19-25 In our Gospel reading today, Peter asks Jesus what is going to happen to the Apostle John, one to the two Sons of Thunder, one of Jesus’ inner circle of three. And stunningly, Jesus rebukes Peter and basically tells him to mind his own business. I wonder why Peter asked the ...read more

    Too often we are concerned about the ministry of others, Jesus reminds us that we need to be concerned about the ministry He had called us into.

    What About John? John 21:17-21 In 1991 Bill Murray starred in a movie about a manipulative, obsessive-compulsive patient who tracks down his psychotherapist, who is on vacation. The patient ends up completely taking over the doctor’s vacation. The movie was called, “What About ...read more

    John's Gospel concludes with John's affirmation and validity of the testimony of his writing. Jesus also gives a very familiar command made dozens of times in His ministry: Follow Me!

    “The Conclusion of John’s Gospel” John 21:18-25 Last week we looked at Peter’s reinstatement as a disciple in John 21:15-17: “When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, ...read more

    John's gospel ends, leaving us reassured in our faith, so we can pray for leaders at all levels in church – that they humbly serve their flocks, and we can all re-fix our eyes on Jesus in love, and follow him, relieved of distracting comparisons.

    Sermon by Rev Ruth Newmarch You know how in some movies, the music tells you the end has come, but sometimes the ending has been so dramatic, that you are still taking it in...the implications and emotions are swirling around the audience. Then credits start to roll, but the director has added in ...read more

    A sermon about overcoming fear with the peace of Christ.

    “No Darkness is Too Great” John 21:19-23 On the evening of the day that Jesus rose from the dead we get a picture of a timid, frightened group of disciples. The doors are shut and locked. They are in hiding—in the darkness of a room. Obviously, they didn’t believe ...read more

    God's love for prodigals.

    “A Passion for Prodigals” John 21:1-25 John 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. No story in scripture is more winsome that the one Jesus tells in ...read more

    Failures flourish when they're with Christ, so come for fellowship with Christ and let Him feed you; confess your failure to Christ and let Him affirm you; and commit to following Christ and let Him restore you.

    Gentle Jesus

    We see many aspects of Jesus' character in the New Testament. One of His most fascinating attributes is His gentleness with those who love and need Him.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. “But ...read more

    Even after Peter's wonderful surprises when Jesus was raised from the dead, he was still struggling to get past his failure. In John 21, we see Jesus giving Peter the opportunity to be reinstated to his role of apostle and leader.

    A. I want to begin this morning with a poem by Louisa Fletcher: “I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again. Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches And all of our poor selfish grief Could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door And ...read more

    Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." He also said, "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." So following him is vitally important. How is it done?

    Peter is going through a time of regret around the fire of denial. In response Jesus takes the initiative to restore Peter around a fire of fellowship.

    Message John 21:15-25 When Jesus Restores the Fallen Do you sometimes live your life with a sense of regret? I do. In fact it can be a real struggle and I need to keep challenging myself to stop.
