- 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:13.530
- Hey, family, it's pastor tim timberlake of celebration
- 00:00:13.530 --> 00:00:16.199
- Church.
- 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.434
- I am excited about today's broadcast and the word that god
- 00:00:17.434 --> 00:00:21.037
- Has given me for our time together.
- 00:00:21.037 --> 00:00:23.039
- I want you to pay close attention as we go through
- 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.342
- The book of john, chapter 21, and we bring to a conclusion
- 00:00:26.342 --> 00:00:29.979
- This incredible journey.
- 00:00:29.979 --> 00:00:31.114
- We entitled come and see.
- 00:00:31.114 --> 00:00:33.383
- Some of you watching right now are in a season of confusion
- 00:00:33.383 --> 00:00:36.119
- And maybe chaos.
- 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:37.387
- You've been going through pain
- 00:00:37.387 --> 00:00:38.555
- And you've been asking god, god, what is the purpose?
- 00:00:38.555 --> 00:00:40.957
- What is the plan?
- 00:00:40.957 --> 00:00:41.991
- Why am i here?
- 00:00:41.991 --> 00:00:43.293
- And you thought this is the end?
- 00:00:43.293 --> 00:00:45.929
- I just came to remind you that this is not the end.
- 00:00:45.929 --> 00:00:48.898
- God is doing something supernatural, insignificant,
- 00:00:48.898 --> 00:00:51.701
- Even in moments where we are confused
- 00:00:51.701 --> 00:00:54.270
- And there's chaos swirling around us.
- 00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:56.372
- I want you to grab your word.
- 00:00:56.372 --> 00:00:57.640
- Grab a pen, grab a pad.
- 00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.309
- Let's go into the message
- 00:00:59.309 --> 00:01:00.410
- As it has already begun, entitled this is not the end.
- 00:01:00.410 --> 00:01:05.048
- Some of you find yourself
- 00:01:05.615 --> 00:01:06.883
- Today back in the boat of convenience,
- 00:01:06.883 --> 00:01:10.253
- Back in the boat of comfort,
- 00:01:10.820 --> 00:01:14.124
- And the boat
- 00:01:14.124 --> 00:01:15.925
- Without his word
- 00:01:15.925 --> 00:01:18.094
- Is just busyness, without breakthrough.
- 00:01:18.094 --> 00:01:21.965
- Many of you are
- 00:01:22.365 --> 00:01:23.399
- Exhausted not because you lack effort,
- 00:01:23.399 --> 00:01:26.936
- But because you have found yourself rolling
- 00:01:26.936 --> 00:01:29.038
- In the wrong direction.
- 00:01:29.038 --> 00:01:32.876
- Jesus is calling you by name.
- 00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:37.981
- He's telling you
- 00:01:38.348 --> 00:01:40.650
- To come out of your comfort and your convenience
- 00:01:40.650 --> 00:01:44.487
- And step back into your purpose.
- 00:01:45.121 --> 00:01:49.192
- Taking notes and i encourage you to
- 00:01:49.926 --> 00:01:52.996
- Point number one.
- 00:01:53.429 --> 00:01:55.465
- We see in the text
- 00:01:55.465 --> 00:01:57.867
- Is love is the only resume.
- 00:01:57.867 --> 00:02:00.937
- Heaven reads.
- 00:02:01.304 --> 00:02:04.240
- John chapter 21, verse 15 jesus asked peter,
- 00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:07.010
- Do you love me more than these?
- 00:02:07.010 --> 00:02:10.380
- It's the question i pray resonates
- 00:02:11.114 --> 00:02:12.682
- With you in your spirit today.
- 00:02:12.682 --> 00:02:14.150
- Do you love him more than you love anything and anyone else?
- 00:02:14.150 --> 00:02:18.054
- Do you know while we continue to fall and stumble into sin
- 00:02:19.222 --> 00:02:21.958
- Because we love sin, what don't we do?
- 00:02:21.958 --> 00:02:23.326
- Jesus?
- 00:02:23.326 --> 00:02:25.361
- Do you know why we entertain relationships
- 00:02:25.361 --> 00:02:27.297
- And conversations that lead us nowhere?
- 00:02:27.297 --> 00:02:28.965
- Because we love our flesh more than we love jesus.
- 00:02:28.965 --> 00:02:32.302
- Do you know why?
- 00:02:32.302 --> 00:02:32.902
- We go in circles.
- 00:02:32.902 --> 00:02:34.170
- Round and round and round and round and round and round again.
- 00:02:34.170 --> 00:02:36.539
- Because we love chaos more than we love jesus.
- 00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:39.809
- Let's be honest.
- 00:02:39.809 --> 00:02:40.443
- Some of us love chaos.
- 00:02:40.443 --> 00:02:42.011
- Some of us love confusion
- 00:02:42.011 --> 00:02:43.513
- Because it's the only thing that we've ever known.
- 00:02:43.513 --> 00:02:46.316
- And when it's familiar to us, we were ready
- 00:02:46.316 --> 00:02:48.651
- To go back to the boat of chaos and confusion.
- 00:02:48.651 --> 00:02:51.788
- Rather to step in peace because it's unknown to us.
- 00:02:51.788 --> 00:02:57.126
- Hear me.
- 00:02:57.393 --> 00:02:59.162
- Love is the only resumé that heaven reads.
- 00:02:59.162 --> 00:03:04.267
- Do you love him more than you love?
- 00:03:04.267 --> 00:03:06.970
- These things?
- 00:03:06.970 --> 00:03:10.106
- Do you
- 00:03:10.306 --> 00:03:11.241
- Love him more than you love your family?
- 00:03:11.241 --> 00:03:13.643
- Do you love him more than you love your spouse?
- 00:03:13.643 --> 00:03:16.512
- Do you love him more than you love your kids?
- 00:03:16.512 --> 00:03:19.782
- Do you love him more than you love that money
- 00:03:19.782 --> 00:03:21.718
- That you steward in?
- 00:03:21.718 --> 00:03:25.021
- Do you love him?
- 00:03:25.021 --> 00:03:27.657
- I want you to wrestle with that question
- 00:03:27.657 --> 00:03:29.259
- Because a lot of us think that we do.
- 00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:31.928
- Until that love is tested,
- 00:03:31.928 --> 00:03:34.530
- How is that love tested?
- 00:03:34.530 --> 00:03:36.432
- When you don't get your way.
- 00:03:36.432 --> 00:03:38.468
- How is that love tested?
- 00:03:38.468 --> 00:03:40.136
- When prayers don't happen the way you think they should.
- 00:03:40.136 --> 00:03:43.006
- How is that love tested?
- 00:03:43.006 --> 00:03:44.507
- When pain hits your life.
- 00:03:44.507 --> 00:03:46.142
- How is that
- 00:03:46.142 --> 00:03:46.709
- Love tested
- 00:03:46.709 --> 00:03:47.543
- When your dream board doesn't happen
- 00:03:47.543 --> 00:03:49.479
- The way you thought that it should?
- 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.114
- And the thing that you've been praying
- 00:03:51.114 --> 00:03:52.515
- For, maybe even fasting for, doesn't unfold in your timeline.
- 00:03:52.515 --> 00:03:56.419
- How is that love tested
- 00:03:56.419 --> 00:03:57.954
- When you're not married
- 00:03:57.954 --> 00:03:59.088
- The way you thought you should be married?
- 00:03:59.088 --> 00:04:00.823
- How is that love tested when your kids don't
- 00:04:00.823 --> 00:04:03.059
- Talk to you the way you thought that they would talk to you?
- 00:04:03.059 --> 00:04:05.461
- How is that love tested?
- 00:04:05.461 --> 00:04:06.896
- When everything in your life
- 00:04:06.896 --> 00:04:08.498
- Seems like it's pressing in on you
- 00:04:08.498 --> 00:04:10.466
- And the enemy is whispering in your ear, he don't love you.
- 00:04:10.466 --> 00:04:14.037
- That's when that love is tested.
- 00:04:14.037 --> 00:04:18.274
- How is that love tested
- 00:04:18.775 --> 00:04:20.510
- When it comes to comfort and convenience,
- 00:04:20.510 --> 00:04:22.845
- When it comes to friendships and relationships.
- 00:04:22.845 --> 00:04:25.515
- How is that love tested when you bottle down?
- 00:04:25.515 --> 00:04:28.484
- It's just him.
- 00:04:28.484 --> 00:04:29.285
- He's the only one
- 00:04:29.285 --> 00:04:30.520
- That will ever last with you through the test of time,
- 00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:33.289
- Because family and friends will leave you.
- 00:04:33.289 --> 00:04:35.491
- Possessions and money will leave you.
- 00:04:35.491 --> 00:04:37.427
- Things will leave you, but he'll never leave you.
- 00:04:37.427 --> 00:04:40.063
- I love that his word says
- 00:04:40.063 --> 00:04:41.764
- He is with you until the very end of all time.
- 00:04:41.764 --> 00:04:44.434
- So when doctors don't have the answer, he's got the answer.
- 00:04:44.434 --> 00:04:48.037
- When your family, your friends don't have solutions,
- 00:04:48.037 --> 00:04:50.573
- He's got the solution because he is the solution.
- 00:04:50.573 --> 00:04:53.776
- And so what we are
- 00:04:53.776 --> 00:04:54.711
- Have to understand and realize is love
- 00:04:54.711 --> 00:04:56.979
- Is the only thing that heaven will identify.
- 00:04:56.979 --> 00:04:59.482
- Where on your résumé, not how much money you got,
- 00:04:59.482 --> 00:05:01.851
- How many cards you got now, how many?
- 00:05:01.851 --> 00:05:03.419
- How did you god
- 00:05:03.419 --> 00:05:04.654
- Know who your best friend is and who your mom and them is?
- 00:05:04.654 --> 00:05:06.789
- And none of that matters.
- 00:05:06.789 --> 00:05:07.990
- It's your love for him that matters.
- 00:05:07.990 --> 00:05:09.892
- Because where there is true love, that's also a curse word.
- 00:05:09.892 --> 00:05:14.330
- We can't sacrifice.
- 00:05:14.330 --> 00:05:18.568
- We don't like to say that
- 00:05:19.135 --> 00:05:22.305
- Sacrifice curse a little bit.
- 00:05:22.305 --> 00:05:25.408
- Sacrifice
- 00:05:25.708 --> 00:05:28.511
- Makes your flesh uncomfortable, doesn't it?
- 00:05:28.511 --> 00:05:31.447
- To know that you have to do something
- 00:05:31.447 --> 00:05:33.449
- That you don't want to do for the person you say you love.
- 00:05:33.449 --> 00:05:36.352
- Sacrifice to bring you to a place
- 00:05:36.352 --> 00:05:38.821
- Where you're no longer in control,
- 00:05:38.821 --> 00:05:40.656
- But you allow him to be in control.
- 00:05:40.656 --> 00:05:42.625
- Sacrifice
- 00:05:42.625 --> 00:05:43.726
- To extend beyond your ability to touch what it is
- 00:05:43.726 --> 00:05:46.529
- That he desires for you to touch.
- 00:05:46.529 --> 00:05:48.030
- And so you give up your will and your way
- 00:05:48.030 --> 00:05:50.066
- So that he can move to you.
- 00:05:50.066 --> 00:05:51.567
- Sacrifice.
- 00:05:51.567 --> 00:05:55.772
- Do you love me
- 00:05:56.105 --> 00:05:57.240
- More than this thing?
- 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.910
- In the text, we see jesus entrusts
- 00:06:01.677 --> 00:06:04.647
- Peter with his sheep only after he examines peter's love.
- 00:06:04.647 --> 00:06:09.185
- Modeling for us that leadership in the kingdom
- 00:06:10.086 --> 00:06:12.488
- Doesn't begin with talent.
- 00:06:12.488 --> 00:06:17.293
- Leadership in the
- 00:06:17.727 --> 00:06:18.795
- Kingdom of god starts with affection for jesus.
- 00:06:18.795 --> 00:06:22.265
- Love for jesus.
- 00:06:22.265 --> 00:06:24.267
- And i'm afraid maybe some of your favorite internet
- 00:06:24.267 --> 00:06:27.336
- Preachers are just gifted.
- 00:06:27.336 --> 00:06:40.049
- But have not been called by god.
- 00:06:40.683 --> 00:06:43.553
- They've been called by themselves.
- 00:06:43.553 --> 00:06:46.189
- They've been called by their flesh.
- 00:06:46.189 --> 00:06:48.424
- Some of them have even
- 00:06:48.424 --> 00:06:49.425
- Been called by the enemy to lead people astray
- 00:06:49.425 --> 00:06:53.229
- From the true doctrine and theology of jesus christ.
- 00:06:53.229 --> 00:06:57.567
- Because when you follow him,
- 00:06:57.567 --> 00:06:59.602
- There should be fruit that follow.
- 00:06:59.602 --> 00:07:01.537
- It's not antics, not chaos, not confusion,
- 00:07:01.537 --> 00:07:05.241
- Not people talking more about their name
- 00:07:05.241 --> 00:07:07.276
- Than they do the name of jesus, not about what car they drive,
- 00:07:07.276 --> 00:07:10.613
- Not about what house they live in.
- 00:07:10.613 --> 00:07:12.248
- Not about begging you for money.
- 00:07:12.248 --> 00:07:14.050
- It's about the gospel of jesus christ.
- 00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:16.385
- And jesus is so tired of men and women of the
- 00:07:16.385 --> 00:07:20.423
- So called god talking more about themselves.
- 00:07:20.423 --> 00:07:23.559
- And they do him.
- 00:07:23.559 --> 00:07:25.061
- Do you love me more than these?
- 00:07:25.695 --> 00:07:32.034
- Jesus never asked, are you gifted?
- 00:07:32.768 --> 00:07:35.838
- He never asked, are you talented?
- 00:07:36.572 --> 00:07:38.541
- He never asked. can you preach? can't you speak?
- 00:07:38.541 --> 00:07:41.277
- Can you do this?
- 00:07:41.277 --> 00:07:41.911
- He says, do you love me?
- 00:07:41.911 --> 00:07:45.815
- Here's the reality.
- 00:07:46.282 --> 00:07:47.683
- You don't have to be gifted to be used by god.
- 00:07:47.683 --> 00:07:50.586
- If you love god, he'll give you the gifts.
- 00:07:50.586 --> 00:07:54.390
- You don't have to be light to be used by god if you love him.
- 00:07:54.390 --> 00:07:57.994
- He says, i'll give you favor with men and women.
- 00:07:57.994 --> 00:08:00.630
- You don't have to be chosen by men and women to be used by god.
- 00:08:00.630 --> 00:08:04.467
- All you gotta do is love the lord
- 00:08:04.467 --> 00:08:06.435
- With all your heart, your mind, your soul, your total being.
- 00:08:06.435 --> 00:08:10.072
- And when you love god like that, god in return opens up doors
- 00:08:10.072 --> 00:08:13.709
- That no one can close.
- 00:08:13.709 --> 00:08:21.284
- The reason jesus asked peter, do you love me?
- 00:08:22.251 --> 00:08:25.855
- Is because jesus was telling peter, what you love
- 00:08:25.855 --> 00:08:29.058
- Will lead your life.
- 00:08:29.058 --> 00:08:32.795
- So get real sticky for a second, but it's okay.
- 00:08:32.795 --> 00:08:35.097
- You're going to make it through it, i promise you.
- 00:08:35.097 --> 00:08:37.166
- Just hold on. listen to me.
- 00:08:37.166 --> 00:08:39.168
- If we lose oxygen in the cabin,
- 00:08:39.168 --> 00:08:41.304
- Put the oxygen mask on yourself.
- 00:08:41.304 --> 00:08:43.105
- Then your neighbor.
- 00:08:43.105 --> 00:08:46.742
- Some of you being led by money because you love it.
- 00:08:47.743 --> 00:08:50.513
- Some of you being led by your spouse
- 00:08:50.513 --> 00:08:52.248
- Because you love them more than you do. jesus.
- 00:08:52.248 --> 00:08:54.150
- Some of you even being led by your kids
- 00:08:54.150 --> 00:08:56.018
- Because you put more faith
- 00:08:56.018 --> 00:08:57.353
- And trust in your kids ability than you do god's ability.
- 00:08:57.353 --> 00:09:00.823
- And you got to rectify that with the lord today.
- 00:09:00.823 --> 00:09:03.526
- You got to reprioritize where your priorities
- 00:09:03.526 --> 00:09:06.596
- Should be, because whatever you love will lead you.
- 00:09:06.596 --> 00:09:10.199
- My prayer
- 00:09:10.199 --> 00:09:10.733
- Is that you love him
- 00:09:10.733 --> 00:09:11.667
- Enough to let him lead you into the purpose
- 00:09:11.667 --> 00:09:13.703
- And the place he desires for you to be.
- 00:09:13.703 --> 00:09:15.304
- And the church said, what?
- 00:09:15.304 --> 00:09:17.373
- Thank you.
- 00:09:17.673 --> 00:09:18.507
- Point number two is this.
- 00:09:18.507 --> 00:09:22.478
- Don't disqualify yourself from the field.
- 00:09:22.478 --> 00:09:26.048
- God still calls you to.
- 00:09:26.048 --> 00:09:29.418
- Simply put,
- 00:09:29.752 --> 00:09:32.121
- Feed what you once filled.
- 00:09:32.121 --> 00:09:35.992
- Verse 15 through 17
- 00:09:36.459 --> 00:09:38.561
- Jesus tells peter, feed my lambs.
- 00:09:38.561 --> 00:09:41.797
- Take care of my sheep.
- 00:09:41.797 --> 00:09:43.733
- Feed my sheep.
- 00:09:43.733 --> 00:09:45.334
- But jesus, isn't this the same people
- 00:09:45.334 --> 00:09:48.404
- That he failed?
- 00:09:48.771 --> 00:09:49.872
- Absolutely.
- 00:09:49.872 --> 00:09:51.641
- Jesus, isn't this the same people
- 00:09:51.641 --> 00:09:53.042
- He denied you in front of? absolutely.
- 00:09:53.042 --> 00:09:55.244
- Jesus. isn't this the same people?
- 00:09:55.244 --> 00:09:56.912
- He turned his back in front of the away from you
- 00:09:56.912 --> 00:10:00.082
- And told them he did not even know you?
- 00:10:00.082 --> 00:10:01.984
- Absolutely. why would jesus do this?
- 00:10:01.984 --> 00:10:04.086
- Because jesus demonstrates he does not just forgive.
- 00:10:04.086 --> 00:10:07.823
- He gives people back to the people
- 00:10:08.557 --> 00:10:10.626
- That they walked away from.
- 00:10:10.626 --> 00:10:14.397
- Because the greatest depiction
- 00:10:14.997 --> 00:10:16.399
- Of grace is understanding
- 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.402
- That grace will make you steward what you once broke your
- 00:10:19.402 --> 00:10:24.073
- That go over your head for a little bit.
- 00:10:24.874 --> 00:10:26.842
- It is settled in your spirit once you get home.
- 00:10:26.842 --> 00:10:29.111
- Jesus doesn't just forgive peter.
- 00:10:29.111 --> 00:10:31.480
- He gives him back to the very people he walked away from.
- 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:36.252
- Because god will often assign you
- 00:10:36.952 --> 00:10:39.488
- To the same pasture you once polluted.
- 00:10:39.488 --> 00:10:49.331
- And some of you been sinning
- 00:10:49.932 --> 00:10:51.133
- That phone call to voicemail because they know you'll pass.
- 00:10:51.133 --> 00:10:55.438
- And god is saying pick it up.
- 00:10:56.072 --> 00:10:58.140
- Let them experience what real grace is.
- 00:10:58.140 --> 00:11:01.977
- Some of you ain't been back to your high school reunion,
- 00:11:01.977 --> 00:11:04.113
- Because you don't
- 00:11:04.113 --> 00:11:05.347
- Want to see the same people that knew who you used to be.
- 00:11:05.347 --> 00:11:08.117
- Going back.
- 00:11:08.451 --> 00:11:09.418
- Let them see what grace looks like going back.
- 00:11:09.418 --> 00:11:12.021
- Let them see what mercy and redemption and restoration
- 00:11:12.021 --> 00:11:15.458
- Looks like.
- 00:11:15.458 --> 00:11:16.125
- Some of you won't even talk to
- 00:11:16.125 --> 00:11:17.059
- Your family because your family know
- 00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:18.861
- Who you used to be and how you used to go
- 00:11:18.861 --> 00:11:21.363
- Talk to the family members.
- 00:11:21.363 --> 00:11:22.832
- Let them see what the blood of jesus christ has done.
- 00:11:22.832 --> 00:11:26.302
- Let them see what his grace is,
- 00:11:26.302 --> 00:11:28.537
- What his mercy is, and how it's sufficient for you.
- 00:11:28.537 --> 00:11:31.507
- Even in your human frailty.
- 00:11:31.507 --> 00:11:35.277
- God will assign you to the same pastor
- 00:11:36.112 --> 00:11:38.047
- You once polluted your redemption. hear me?
- 00:11:38.047 --> 00:11:40.382
- Your redemption is not private.
- 00:11:40.382 --> 00:11:43.619
- Your redemption is proof
- 00:11:44.153 --> 00:11:46.889
- To those who once hurt you
- 00:11:46.889 --> 00:11:49.191
- And to those you hurt.
- 00:11:49.191 --> 00:11:55.531
- And so god to his son jesus
- 00:11:56.132 --> 00:11:59.835
- Demonstrates to us
- 00:12:00.269 --> 00:12:02.638
- That he would put ministry
- 00:12:02.638 --> 00:12:05.107
- Back into the same person
- 00:12:05.107 --> 00:12:07.610
- That denied his existence.
- 00:12:07.610 --> 00:12:12.414
- How have you denied him?
- 00:12:12.948 --> 00:12:17.787
- How have you turned
- 00:12:18.254 --> 00:12:18.954
- Your back on him?
- 00:12:18.954 --> 00:12:23.092
- How have you?
- 00:12:23.459 --> 00:12:26.095
- Said that you would be with him, but
- 00:12:26.095 --> 00:12:29.565
- Haven't always been there.
- 00:12:29.565 --> 00:12:34.436
- How have you walked away from him?
- 00:12:35.171 --> 00:12:38.207
- Who do you love more than jesus?
- 00:12:38.841 --> 00:12:43.412
- Who do you care for?
- 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:45.014
- Who do you spend more time with than the person
- 00:12:45.014 --> 00:12:47.249
- That gave you time to spend?
- 00:12:47.249 --> 00:12:53.556
- We've got so entitled.
- 00:12:54.023 --> 00:12:57.860
- And when the worship team don't sing our favorite song.
- 00:12:58.994 --> 00:13:07.636
- We don't come back
- 00:13:08.070 --> 00:13:08.838
- For three weeks.
- 00:13:08.838 --> 00:13:13.008
- Let me tell you
- 00:13:13.375 --> 00:13:14.476
- How entitled the western churches got to talk about
- 00:13:14.476 --> 00:13:17.680
- How we prioritize holidays on the calendar more than we do.
- 00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:21.183
- The presence of god.
- 00:13:21.183 --> 00:13:24.553
- Oh. and we take vacations
- 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:29.291
- From his presence.
- 00:13:29.291 --> 00:13:33.095
- I'm not telling you, don't take vacations.
- 00:13:33.095 --> 00:13:34.730
- I love a good vacation.
- 00:13:34.730 --> 00:13:37.900
- But what i am telling you
- 00:13:38.467 --> 00:13:40.135
- Is if you prioritize dates on a calendar more than the date
- 00:13:40.135 --> 00:13:45.608
- He already set for you to spend in its presence,
- 00:13:45.608 --> 00:13:48.777
- You need to reprioritize your focus back on him.
- 00:13:49.745 --> 00:13:54.016
- Because you love things more than you do him.
- 00:13:54.016 --> 00:14:04.760
- Point number three.
- 00:14:05.227 --> 00:14:08.697
- Your calling is custom.
- 00:14:08.697 --> 00:14:11.867
- Stop looking for a copy.
- 00:14:12.368 --> 00:14:16.906
- How does this apply to the text?
- 00:14:17.539 --> 00:14:19.041
- Verse 21. peter
- 00:14:19.041 --> 00:14:22.278
- Asks jesus, lord, what about this man talking about john?
- 00:14:22.278 --> 00:14:26.916
- Jesus says in verse
- 00:14:27.383 --> 00:14:28.317
- 22, what is it to you?
- 00:14:28.317 --> 00:14:31.854
- Follow me.
- 00:14:32.154 --> 00:14:36.425
- You're calling this custom.
- 00:14:37.026 --> 00:14:39.361
- Stop looking for a copy.
- 00:14:39.361 --> 00:14:42.031
- Comparison will kill your calling.
- 00:14:42.031 --> 00:14:48.370
- Comparison will push you back
- 00:14:49.004 --> 00:14:50.572
- Into complacency.
- 00:14:50.572 --> 00:14:53.642
- Comparison will push you back into comfort.
- 00:14:53.642 --> 00:14:55.844
- Comparison will push you back
- 00:14:55.844 --> 00:14:57.446
- Into the convenience of your own boat.
- 00:14:57.446 --> 00:14:59.348
- Instead of stepping off into the shoreline that jesus is
- 00:14:59.348 --> 00:15:02.351
- Standing on, waiting for you.
- 00:15:02.351 --> 00:15:05.854
- Simply put, put your phone down.
- 00:15:05.854 --> 00:15:11.961
- Stop death scrolling and pick up the book of eternal life.
- 00:15:13.095 --> 00:15:19.368
- Some of us don't know who we are because we've been looking
- 00:15:20.502 --> 00:15:22.972
- For affirmation and confirmation through other people's
- 00:15:22.972 --> 00:15:25.341
- Social media, and we've been comparing our
- 00:15:25.341 --> 00:15:28.010
- Our blessing, our purpose, our assignment to the assignment
- 00:15:28.010 --> 00:15:31.146
- And purpose we think other people have.
- 00:15:31.146 --> 00:15:33.048
- And it brings us to the conclusion
- 00:15:33.048 --> 00:15:34.616
- That what we're doing just isn't enough.
- 00:15:34.616 --> 00:15:37.653
- I need more jesus.
- 00:15:38.087 --> 00:15:40.255
- I need more from you.
- 00:15:40.255 --> 00:15:41.557
- What you've given me isn't enough, i need more.
- 00:15:41.557 --> 00:15:43.525
- They got the car, i need more.
- 00:15:43.525 --> 00:15:44.960
- They got the house, i need more,
- 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.395
- They got the spouse, i need more.
- 00:15:46.395 --> 00:15:47.830
- You don't even know they're not happy.
- 00:15:47.830 --> 00:15:56.271
- You don't even realize the reason
- 00:15:57.006 --> 00:15:58.374
- They keep posting their spouse spouses
- 00:15:58.374 --> 00:15:59.675
- Because they've been cheating on that spouse.
- 00:15:59.675 --> 00:16:04.179
- And here you are
- 00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:05.381
- Praying for marriage like they got.
- 00:16:05.381 --> 00:16:09.385
- Instead of asking god to give you
- 00:16:10.152 --> 00:16:11.720
- His perfect will and his plan for your life.
- 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:13.822
- But you never know what his will is.
- 00:16:13.822 --> 00:16:16.291
- If you're always looking to the left and to the right.
- 00:16:16.291 --> 00:16:18.927
- This is after jesus asked peter, do you love me?
- 00:16:18.927 --> 00:16:21.296
- Peter says, yes, i love you, jesus.
- 00:16:21.296 --> 00:16:23.032
- Do you love me? yes, i love you, jesus.
- 00:16:23.032 --> 00:16:24.767
- Do you love me? yes, i love you, jesus. but who is this?
- 00:16:24.767 --> 00:16:29.038
- Well,
- 00:16:29.271 --> 00:16:31.106
- I got to just believe jesus.
- 00:16:31.106 --> 00:16:32.841
- Like, don't peter.
- 00:16:32.841 --> 00:16:37.413
- I just asked you three times.
- 00:16:38.047 --> 00:16:39.415
- Do you love me?
- 00:16:39.415 --> 00:16:42.551
- And every time you said yes.
- 00:16:42.551 --> 00:16:44.219
- And i came back with another instruction feed my sheep.
- 00:16:44.219 --> 00:16:47.156
- Tend to my sheep, keep my sheep.
- 00:16:47.156 --> 00:16:50.092
- And here you are comparing your call
- 00:16:50.092 --> 00:16:52.361
- To john's call.
- 00:16:52.361 --> 00:16:57.499
- Because your assignment
- 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.035
- Isn't good enough.
- 00:17:00.035 --> 00:17:07.443
- Because your purpose
- 00:17:07.910 --> 00:17:10.879
- Isn't powerful enough.
- 00:17:10.879 --> 00:17:16.652
- Jesus said, what does it matter?
- 00:17:17.286 --> 00:17:20.956
- Follow me.
- 00:17:21.256 --> 00:17:24.793
- If you're following jesus,
- 00:17:25.360 --> 00:17:28.197
- You don't have to worry about the people.
- 00:17:28.197 --> 00:17:31.900
- That are standing and stepping in their purpose
- 00:17:32.901 --> 00:17:35.871
- Because you're too consumed with yours.
- 00:17:35.871 --> 00:17:38.474
- Point number four.
- 00:17:38.907 --> 00:17:42.144
- Jesus didn't
- 00:17:42.144 --> 00:17:42.878
- Just give you a miracle.
- 00:17:42.878 --> 00:17:46.148
- He gave you a message.
- 00:17:46.148 --> 00:17:48.784
- And the message that jesus gave you
- 00:17:48.784 --> 00:17:52.154
- Is to tell the story that outlives you.
- 00:17:52.154 --> 00:17:56.291
- That's the message.
- 00:17:56.758 --> 00:17:58.494
- What is the story that outlives you?
- 00:17:58.494 --> 00:18:01.763
- He redeemed you.
- 00:18:01.763 --> 00:18:03.599
- He saved you.
- 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:05.033
- He healed you, and he made you whole
- 00:18:05.033 --> 00:18:07.736
- When you continually denied him.
- 00:18:07.736 --> 00:18:10.973
- That's the story outlives you.
- 00:18:10.973 --> 00:18:14.009
- That's the story
- 00:18:14.009 --> 00:18:15.210
- That brings other people close to the heart of the father.
- 00:18:15.210 --> 00:18:18.213
- Because you acknowledge your human frailty,
- 00:18:18.213 --> 00:18:21.016
- Your mishaps, your mistakes, humanity
- 00:18:21.016 --> 00:18:24.052
- Is not looking for phony christians.
- 00:18:24.052 --> 00:18:26.188
- Humanity is looking
- 00:18:26.188 --> 00:18:27.356
- For followers and disciples of christ
- 00:18:27.356 --> 00:18:29.458
- Who can acknowledge their shortcomings
- 00:18:29.458 --> 00:18:31.326
- And their dire need of a savior.
- 00:18:31.326 --> 00:18:33.228
- That's what humanity is looking for.
- 00:18:33.228 --> 00:18:37.032
- A group of people that can acknowledge
- 00:18:37.866 --> 00:18:39.568
- Jesus didn't just give us a miracle.
- 00:18:39.568 --> 00:18:41.303
- He gave us a message.
- 00:18:41.303 --> 00:18:43.372
- Verse 24 through 25 says, this is the disciple
- 00:18:43.372 --> 00:18:46.942
- Who is bearing witness.
- 00:18:46.942 --> 00:18:48.377
- There are also many other things the gospel does not close
- 00:18:48.377 --> 00:18:53.282
- With the period.
- 00:18:53.282 --> 00:18:54.416
- It closes with the passing of a pen,
- 00:18:54.416 --> 00:18:56.718
- Because the story is continuing to be written in your life
- 00:18:56.718 --> 00:19:00.556
- Through your testimony.
- 00:19:00.556 --> 00:19:01.957
- This is not how the story ends.
- 00:19:01.957 --> 00:19:05.627
- You're not just saved,
- 00:19:06.128 --> 00:19:08.730
- You are a scribe of his grace.
- 00:19:08.730 --> 00:19:11.633
- And when people hear you speak, they hear his grace.
- 00:19:11.633 --> 00:19:14.836
- When people see your actions, they should see his mercy.
- 00:19:14.836 --> 00:19:17.839
- When people see the decisions that you're making,
- 00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.209
- They should see a person
- 00:19:20.209 --> 00:19:21.276
- That has been redeemed by the blood of jesus christ.
- 00:19:21.276 --> 00:19:24.613
- So don't waste your testimony on your selfishness.
- 00:19:24.613 --> 00:19:29.885
- Utilize your pain.
- 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:31.653
- Utilize your testimony.
- 00:19:31.653 --> 00:19:33.222
- Utilize the story that jesus continues to write
- 00:19:33.222 --> 00:19:36.058
- To help someone else find their freedom.
- 00:19:36.058 --> 00:19:39.628
- And if you've seen jesus move,
- 00:19:40.229 --> 00:19:44.166
- You were called to testify.
- 00:19:44.766 --> 00:19:47.970
- If you've seen jesus healed, if you've seen jesus redeem,
- 00:19:47.970 --> 00:19:50.739
- If you've seen jesus save, you are called to testify.
- 00:19:50.739 --> 00:19:54.443
- That is why jesus asked peter three times, do you love me?
- 00:19:54.443 --> 00:19:59.047
- Do you love me?
- 00:19:59.047 --> 00:20:00.849
- Yes, lord, i love you. yes, lord.
- 00:20:00.015 --> 00:20:03.051
- I love you, jesus. you know that i love you.
- 00:20:03.051 --> 00:20:05.654
- He asked him three times to remind
- 00:20:05.654 --> 00:20:07.756
- Peter of how many times peter denied jesus.
- 00:20:07.756 --> 00:20:10.892
- Three times he denied jesus.
- 00:20:10.892 --> 00:20:12.694
- So for every denial, jesus reminded him of his love
- 00:20:12.694 --> 00:20:16.565
- That he had for him,
- 00:20:16.565 --> 00:20:17.833
- Not only does he stop there,
- 00:20:18.433 --> 00:20:20.002
- But jesus calls peter out of the boat three times.
- 00:20:20.002 --> 00:20:23.272
- He finds peter the first time fishing.
- 00:20:24.106 --> 00:20:26.408
- The second time
- 00:20:26.408 --> 00:20:27.442
- He calls peter out of the boat to walk on water,
- 00:20:27.442 --> 00:20:29.711
- And the last time he tells peter the same thing, come join me.
- 00:20:29.711 --> 00:20:33.715
- Peter does.
- 00:20:33.715 --> 00:20:36.551
- The way jesus ends.
- 00:20:36.551 --> 00:20:38.787
- The conversation with peter
- 00:20:38.787 --> 00:20:41.156
- Is the way jesus started the conversation with peter.
- 00:20:41.156 --> 00:20:44.259
- That is to follow.
- 00:20:44.693 --> 00:20:48.730
- Somebody you've been following
- 00:20:49.331 --> 00:20:50.399
- Jesus from a distance.
- 00:20:50.399 --> 00:20:53.502
- He wants you to follow him up close.
- 00:20:53.502 --> 00:20:56.672
- John chapter 18, verse 18.
- 00:20:57.239 --> 00:21:00.776
- It says, now the servants
- 00:21:00.776 --> 00:21:02.144
- And officers had made a charcoal fire,
- 00:21:02.144 --> 00:21:05.480
- And peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
- 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.817
- And at this particular place around the charcoal fire,
- 00:21:09.918 --> 00:21:12.821
- They asked peter,
- 00:21:12.821 --> 00:21:14.122
- Aren't you a disciple and a follower of jesus?
- 00:21:14.122 --> 00:21:16.558
- And peter denied him three times.
- 00:21:16.558 --> 00:21:21.563
- Jesus addresses peter
- 00:21:22.064 --> 00:21:23.498
- Again from a charcoal fire.
- 00:21:23.498 --> 00:21:26.768
- To trigger grace in his life.
- 00:21:27.402 --> 00:21:30.806
- See, nothing is placed in scripture by happenstance
- 00:21:30.806 --> 00:21:33.342
- Or coincidence.
- 00:21:33.342 --> 00:21:34.309
- Everything is intentionally designed by god.
- 00:21:34.309 --> 00:21:36.211
- If god placed it there,
- 00:21:36.211 --> 00:21:37.579
- He wants us to pay attention to it.
- 00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:39.047
- This was the trigger of grace.
- 00:21:39.047 --> 00:21:40.682
- Jesus reminding peter that the very place that you deny me
- 00:21:40.682 --> 00:21:43.919
- Is the very place you're going to receive the grace i have.
- 00:21:43.919 --> 00:21:48.090
- So no longer will you recognize the smell of burning charcoal.
- 00:21:49.257 --> 00:21:52.394
- By your denial, you will now recognize it
- 00:21:52.394 --> 00:21:54.563
- By the receiving of the grace that only i can give.
- 00:21:54.563 --> 00:21:59.735
- There was a threefold denial,
- 00:22:00.369 --> 00:22:01.837
- And there was a three fold restoration.
- 00:22:01.837 --> 00:22:03.538
- Peter denies
- 00:22:03.538 --> 00:22:04.740
- Jesus three times in john chapter 18, verse 17, 25 and 27.
- 00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:08.543
- Jesus restores peter back into its place
- 00:22:08.543 --> 00:22:10.779
- Of calling three times do you love me?
- 00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:12.881
- Do you love me? do you love me?
- 00:22:12.881 --> 00:22:14.750
- Hear me?
- 00:22:14.750 --> 00:22:15.584
- Family never stop telling the people
- 00:22:15.584 --> 00:22:17.018
- That you love that you love them
- 00:22:17.018 --> 00:22:23.091
- Do you love me?
- 00:22:23.458 --> 00:22:29.431
- Yes, lord, i love you.
- 00:22:26.561 --> 00:22:30.465
- Yes, lord, i love you. yes, lord, i love you.
- 00:22:30.465 --> 00:22:32.567
- And at the third time, jesus gives him instructions.
- 00:22:32.567 --> 00:22:39.207
- Jesus doesn't call them peter.
- 00:22:39.808 --> 00:22:41.209
- Jesus calls him simon, son of john.
- 00:22:41.209 --> 00:22:44.413
- Jesus reverts to his original name,
- 00:22:45.213 --> 00:22:47.182
- The name he had before the calling, to remind
- 00:22:47.182 --> 00:22:49.384
- Peter of where it all started and to reestablish his identity
- 00:22:49.384 --> 00:22:54.022
- Before we affirming his assignment.
- 00:22:54.022 --> 00:22:58.160
- Peter set out to fish at night.
- 00:22:58.794 --> 00:23:02.464
- Peter tells the other disciples, i'm going fishing,
- 00:23:03.465 --> 00:23:07.035
- And they caught nothing all night long.
- 00:23:07.035 --> 00:23:08.703
- Once again, jesus sees them and tells them, drop your nets.
- 00:23:08.703 --> 00:23:13.642
- Scripture says in john chapter 21
- 00:23:14.376 --> 00:23:16.778
- That they caught 153 fish.
- 00:23:16.778 --> 00:23:19.481
- That's a very specific number.
- 00:23:19.481 --> 00:23:21.416
- The reason i believe that number
- 00:23:21.416 --> 00:23:23.018
- Is placed in scripture, because at that particular time,
- 00:23:23.018 --> 00:23:26.755
- The only
- 00:23:26.755 --> 00:23:27.889
- Nations in nationalities that were recognized were 153.
- 00:23:27.889 --> 00:23:31.493
- It was a prophetic declaration to peter that not only
- 00:23:31.493 --> 00:23:34.529
- Are you going to fish for people,
- 00:23:34.529 --> 00:23:36.331
- But you're going to reach all demographics of people.
- 00:23:36.331 --> 00:23:43.238
- Hear me,
- 00:23:43.505 --> 00:23:45.474
- Hear me.
- 00:23:45.474 --> 00:23:47.542
- The old decisions that you made
- 00:23:47.542 --> 00:23:51.246
- Did not disqualify the purpose that god has set before you.
- 00:23:51.246 --> 00:23:55.984
- If you choose to step outside of your boat of comfort
- 00:23:55.984 --> 00:23:59.888
- And convenience and follow.
- 00:23:59.888 --> 00:24:05.093
- This is not how the story ends.
- 00:24:05.727 --> 00:24:09.197
- The story doesn't end with peter on the boat,
- 00:24:09.197 --> 00:24:12.634
- And your story won't end with you
- 00:24:12.634 --> 00:24:15.203
- Resting and dying in comfort and convenience,
- 00:24:15.203 --> 00:24:18.406
- Because that's all you've been familar with.
- 00:24:18.406 --> 00:24:21.910
- Of god has more for you.
- 00:24:22.444 --> 00:24:25.380
- Jesus is recreating the call.
- 00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:28.216
- He's recreating the purpose.
- 00:24:28.216 --> 00:24:29.951
- He's recreating the assignment that he has for your life.
- 00:24:29.951 --> 00:24:33.288
- When you acknowledge god,
- 00:24:33.288 --> 00:24:34.589
- I have sinned and i have fallen short, and i have retreated
- 00:24:34.589 --> 00:24:38.527
- Back to the place that i've been comfortable.
- 00:24:38.527 --> 00:24:44.099
- Jesus instructions
- 00:24:44.533 --> 00:24:47.068
- Follow me.
- 00:24:47.068 --> 00:24:50.272
- Well, friends and family, we're out of time today,
- 00:24:50.272 --> 00:24:53.408
- And my prayer is that this message
- 00:24:53.408 --> 00:24:55.677
- Has pinpointed an area in your life
- 00:24:55.677 --> 00:24:58.713
- That needs to be better
- 00:24:58.713 --> 00:24:59.848
- Aligned with the plan and the purpose of jesus christ.
- 00:24:59.848 --> 00:25:02.884
- I pray that you feel his presence,
- 00:25:03.618 --> 00:25:06.721
- That you heard his word and the undeniable way.
- 00:25:06.721 --> 00:25:09.958
- And if you need to make changes, or if you need to pivot,
- 00:25:09.958 --> 00:25:12.761
- Or if you need to rearrange some things
- 00:25:12.761 --> 00:25:14.663
- In your spiritual walk with them that you would do
- 00:25:14.663 --> 00:25:17.165
- So today.
- 00:25:17.165 --> 00:25:18.700
- I want to pray for you, set myself in agreement with you,
- 00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:22.137
- And believe with you
- 00:25:22.571 --> 00:25:23.738
- For the things that you are believing god for. right now
- 00:25:23.738 --> 00:25:26.508
- In jesus name.
- 00:25:26.508 --> 00:25:27.642
- I thank you for my brothers and my sisters that are
- 00:25:27.642 --> 00:25:29.611
- Leaning into this moment, wherever they may be,
- 00:25:29.611 --> 00:25:32.547
- Whether they are in the states abroad.
- 00:25:32.547 --> 00:25:35.083
- Your presence is where they are.
- 00:25:35.083 --> 00:25:36.551
- And so right now, in jesus name,
- 00:25:36.551 --> 00:25:38.253
- I thank you for this opportunity to connect in prayer, to ask.
- 00:25:38.253 --> 00:25:42.624
- You've got to do the things that only you can do
- 00:25:42.624 --> 00:25:45.460
- And move in a very supernatural way.
- 00:25:45.460 --> 00:25:47.228
- On behalf of my brothers and my sisters. right now god,
- 00:25:47.228 --> 00:25:50.532
- We thank you
- 00:25:50.532 --> 00:25:51.466
- That you're moving in their lives, moving
- 00:25:51.466 --> 00:25:52.934
- In this circumstance, moving in this situation.
- 00:25:52.934 --> 00:25:55.403
- God moving in their season right now in the name of jesus.
- 00:25:55.403 --> 00:25:58.707
- And things will never be the same
- 00:25:58.707 --> 00:26:01.409
- Because this it's not how it ends.
- 00:26:01.409 --> 00:26:04.412
- In jesus name we pray, amen.
- 00:26:04.412 --> 00:26:07.716
- Family. if you prayed that prayer,
- 00:26:07.716 --> 00:26:09.951
- You've started this journey of faith
- 00:26:10.752 --> 00:26:13.188
- That has been activated.
- 00:26:13.188 --> 00:26:15.156
- Let us know about it.
- 00:26:15.156 --> 00:26:17.025
- We want to continue to pray with you,
- 00:26:17.025 --> 00:26:18.793
- Want to continue to walk up this journey with you.
- 00:26:18.793 --> 00:26:21.529
- This broadcast was a blessing to you.
- 00:26:21.529 --> 00:26:23.999
- Our prayers
- 00:26:23.999 --> 00:26:25.133
- That you would prayerfully consider partnering with us.
- 00:26:25.133 --> 00:26:27.702
- Our team is going to throw some information

- At the bottom of the screen.

- I encourage you to scan that qr code,
- 00:26:30.171 --> 00:26:32.273
- Write that information down,
- 00:26:32.273 --> 00:26:34.042
- And then after the broadcast, would you pray?
- 00:26:34.042 --> 00:26:36.544
- If god has moved on your heart to partner with us,
- 00:26:36.544 --> 00:26:40.048
- To not just be a contributor or a consumer,
- 00:26:40.048 --> 00:26:42.984
- But to be a partner that locks arm in arm with us
- 00:26:42.984 --> 00:26:45.353
- Financially to help us continue to spread the gospel
- 00:26:45.353 --> 00:26:48.523
- Of jesus christ to the places that we believe need the most.
