Sunday 3rd August 2025 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Gary SmithGary continues with our Summer series "Questions Jesus Asked", looking at the story of Peter's encounter with Jesus on the beach after His resurrection, as recorded in John 21 v 1-19____________1)  Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: 2)  Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3)  “I'm going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We'll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.4)  Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.5)  He called out to them, “Friends, haven't you any fish?”“No,” they answered.6)  He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.7)  Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8)  The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. 9)  When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.10)  Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11)  So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12)  Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13)  Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14)  This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.15) When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”16)  Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”17)  The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18)  Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19)  Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”____________Recorded at North Site - 03Aug2025

How do you write fiction that readers can truly see? In today's episode of Fully Booked, we speak with author Gary Smith about crafting vivid, immersive stories by drawing on real-life experience, strong character instincts, and a deep sense of place. From his free-flowing, scene-by-scene writing method to his use of real locations and photography, Gary shows how authenticity and visual clarity work together to bring stories to life. We also explore how short fiction demands a sharper, more immediate visual style, and how translating a book into another language can unintentionally blur the imagery and nuance of the original. Throughout our discussion, Gary offers insight into writing believable dialogue, grounding stories in real settings, and the importance of trusting your own creative voice. Writers looking to make their fiction more vivid and emotionally resonant will find plenty of practical inspiration in this conversation.   Gary Smith https://garysmithauthor.com/   Hidden Gems Need our help publishing or marketing your book? https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/author-services/ All episode details and links: https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/podcast  

Founder's Day | Pastor Gary Smith by City of Life Church

We tend to misunderstand what we most need from God. We think we need Him to meet our expectations and change our circumstances. When our greatest need is the forgiveness of our sin, being called out of life and being brought into a new life in Him. Jesus came to meet our greatest need. His life demonstrated that he had the authority to meet our greatest need. He has authority in word and work to forgive sin, call sinners to himself and bring a new way of life, in his kingdom, that cannot be contained in an old religious system.

From becoming the 100th winner at South Boston Speedway to winning the pole for two of the three Virginia Triple Crown races last season to winning multiple races at Franklin County Raceway including this past Saturday night. The biggest win of his career came five weeks ago when his first child was born. We discuss what being a dad is like, when she's going to drink formula out of a funnel like her dad does and how many races she's already been to. It's always a fun conversation with Kyle so you don't want to miss it!Gary Smith also joins us. Smith competes at Franklin County Raceway in both the Stock 4 and Legends Division and he secured a win on Saturday in the Legends division. He also races at Shenandoah & at Natural Bridge Speedway and explains how he got his start in racing during Covid and what he wants to accomplish in his career going forward. We preview the upcoming Kenny Minter Classic presented by Clarence's Steakhouse for the SMART Modified Tour this Friday at Franklin County Raceway and the upcoming ASA STARS National Tour events from Hickory and Newport this weekend. With the dominant win from Landen Lewis on Friday, we discuss if he is the new driver that everyone needs to be gunning to beat on tour now that he has back to back wins on the CARS Tour. We breakdown the event at North Wilkesboro that saw the tour race on national, traditional television and debate whether the Pro Late Model and Late Model Stock races should run on seperate days going forward. We review the All Star Race at North Wilkesboro which saw Christopher become "Million Dollar Bell." We discuss if the track should obtain a points race and where the All Star race should go and which co-host is leaning towards eliminating stage breaks after the random caution that came out on Sunday. We make our picks for Charlotte, Indy and more this week on DLN!

Today, Gary shares what God's placed on his heart about the quiet revival we're witnessing in our generation right now.

Brandt chats with Gary Smith and Tony Vessey to review the 2025 season. It was a season that did not go to plan as Crawley Town find themselves relegated back to League 2. All is not lost as Scott Lindsey is back at the helm. The off season should be incredibly interesting to say the least.

This week, we feature jockey Micah Husbands - his great week at Gulfstream and how he is doubly related to Patrick Husbands. One of our favourite guys, Gary Smith, the former colourful NHL goalie, had a huge score at Santa Anita. He tells us why he bet the 12-1 shot and how much he won. On April 24, it's the 50th Sovereign Awards. Trainer Blaine Wright has two great horses nominated. No other horse in any category has won as many races as either of Wright's nominees, but he knows his chances of getting a trophy are very slim. Just a few days after Brett MacDonald drove to his 2,000th win, we have his dad, Ronald MacDonald serving up his 1,000th training win (not sure if he had fries with that). A horse named Fleetwood Mac raced at Mohawk, so we went retro for some classic tunes. And have you ever seen a 10-race card at Mohawk that produced winners for 10 different drivers? Neither have we, but it came oh so close to happening Thursday night.
