After Jesus' death Peter and the other disciples went back to their fishing boats. Jesus reminds them of what they were called to do. let us not go backwards but rely on God and his promises - he has a purpose for each of us!

The Bible amazes me how you can read a passage over and over and then one time you stumble over a new way of looking at it. In my case I was reading a book called ‘Searching for God knows What’ by Donald Miller when he linked these two passages: Matthew 4 vs. 18-20, which says: As ...read more

Jesus Restores Us Series

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Mar 3, 2014

The Fishing Trip John 21:1-23 Introduction I’m going fishing. At least here in eastern Tennessee, this sounds like something one does when they want to relax.

When We Follow Christ

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
