The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

As seasons shift, many of us need a reset with Jesus. John 21 shows the risen Christ meeting drifting disciples, filling empty nets, and inviting them to “come and have breakfast.” This isn’t box-checking; it’s returning to the One who seeks us, provides for us, and re-commissions us.

Can you feel it in the air? That subtle shift as summer fades into fall? Me either. But somehow every single store in all of existence seems to feel it as they’re already putting out Christmas decorations. I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Contributed by David Owens on Nov 17, 2025

In Colossians 3, after describing the kinds of "clothing" that needed to be put off, Paul then described the "clothing" to put on. There are eight items in all, but in many respects they are descriptions of the final characteristic, love.
