Go! And Be A Community That Loves Jesus Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 2, 2025

The Bible reveals that true, enduring love is rooted in one person: Jesus Christ. Without Him, love is shallow and temporary. With Him, love is powerful, life-transforming, and world-changing.

Go! And Be a Community that Loves Jesus Introduction: What Defines a Loving Community? What makes a community truly loving? Is it shared interests? Mutual respect? A common goal? Or is it something deeper—something eternal? The Bible reveals that true, enduring love is rooted in one person: Jesus ...read more

Grace and restoration are at the heart of our relationship with God. In this deeply personal encounter, we see the power of Christ’s love to restore and commission us, even when we’ve faltered. But how does this restoration speak to us today?

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

Gone Fishing

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023

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

Fishing? Or Catching?

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 15, 2023

Fishing doesn’t necessarily mean catching. And this was a lesson that the disciples also learned, again, in our text today. Once again, even though they were professionals at it, they learned something new about…

Fishing? Or Catching? John 21:1-14 You know, I discovered something about myself a long time ago that some of you might be able to identify with. I discovered that sometimes I tend to think higher of myself and my abilities than maybe I should. For example, when I first started playing golf, now ...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
