Preaching from John 21:1-19, Pastor Andy Lucas show us how in the same way that a long night of fishing disappears with a big catch, Peter’s past failures had vanished with the forgiveness of Christ and the invitation to participate in his work. In the uprising of Jesus, we aren’t defined by our past, we are offered the simple invitation to “Follow him.”

Our encouragement to each of us is to not stop at confession of our love for Jesus, but to answer the invitation of Jesus to be his disciple. To be learners, followers, apprentices. Even when it isn’t easy. Even when the ways of Jesus seem to conflict with the ways of nation.
