UNEXPECTED JESUS: Follow Me...Again(5/3/2026)[John 21:3] Simon Peter said, "I'm going fishing." "We'll come, too," they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night.When we lose sight of Jesus we tend to ______________ to our old ______________.[Matthew 26:31-35] On the way, Jesus told them, "Tonight all of you will desert me. For the Scriptures say, 'God will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.' [32] But after I have been raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there." [33] Peter declared, "Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you." [34] Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, Peter--this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me." [35] "No!" Peter insisted. "Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!" And all the other disciples vowed the same. Our ______________ often ______________ how we see ourselves.[John 21:4-6] At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn't see who he was. [5] He called out, "Fellows, have you caught any fish?" "No," they replied. [6] Then he said, "Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get some!" So they did, and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it.Many people stop ______________ _________ after failure, but God calls you to __________ __________ again.[John 21:9] When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them--fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread.Jesus doesn't ______________ your worst memory, He ______________ it.[John 21:15] After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," Peter replied, "you know I love you." "Then feed my lambs," Jesus told him.Our ______________ comes before our Assignment.[John 21:19b] Then Jesus told him, "Follow me."Your worst ______________ does not cancel your ______________.[John 21:22] Jesus replied, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me."

Send us Fan MailIn this message from Harvest Sarasota, we rethink one of the most familiar phrases of Jesus: “Follow me.”What if it was never meant as command and control? What if it was never about pressure, coercion, or falling in line? What if “follow me” was always an invitation into close companionship?In this episode, we explore Luke 9:23 through a fresh lens and consider how Jesus invited people not into fear, but into relationship. Along the way, we confront the ways faith has too often been used to burden people, control people, and pressure people, and we reclaim a more faithful vision of the gospel: one rooted in presence, dignity, belonging, and love.This is a conversation about carrying heaven with us. About what it means to embody good news. About why witness is less about making a case and more about making space.If you've ever felt burned by religious pressure, exhausted by performative faith, or curious about a more compassionate and Christlike way, this message is for you.#HarvestSarasota #ProgressiveChristianity #FollowMe #CarryHeaven #PresenceOverPressure #MakingSpace #BelongingBeforeBelief #InclusiveFaith Support the showHarvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

There’s a difference between being interested… and being all in. You can be interested in fitness and never go to the gym; interested in investing and never buy a stock; interested in eating healthy and still hit Chick-fil-A 4 times a week. We live in a world full of interested people. And the danger is—we’ve brought that into Christianity. We’ve created a version of faith where: you can believe in Jesus, agree with Jesus, even like Jesus…but never actually follow Him. And Jesus never invited people to just believe something about Him. He invited them to leave something for Him.That’s the tension: Have we reduced following Jesus down to just believing in Him?

Scripture: Mark 2:18–28 In today's episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark and hear Jesus answer some questions. Why weren't His disciples fasting? Why did the Pharisees get upset when they picked grain on the Sabbath? And what was Jesus showing everyone about God's law, grace, and what it really means to belong to Him? Kids will learn that Jesus did not come to patch up an old system. He came to bring something new. In this episode, kids will hear: What fasting means Why Jesus compared Himself to a bridegroom What new wine and old wineskins mean Why the Pharisees were upset about the Sabbath Key truth: Because we are accepted in Jesus, we obey out of love—not out of fear.

In this special Easter episode, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Travis Johnson to discuss his powerful new book (Un)Embarrassed of Jesus: Follow From a Distance and Lose Your Faith; Follow Closely and Change the World. Travis challenges the quiet tension many Christians feel today where we are close enough to say we believe in Jesus, yet distant enough to avoid the cultural backlash that can come with truly following Him. Through the powerful story of Peter’s journey from denial to bold proclamation, we explore how spiritual distance slowly erodes faith while nearness to Christ produces courage, conviction, and transformation. Travis shares why this message is so urgent for the Church today and how ordinary believers can move from comfortable cultural Christianity to courageous, world-changing faith. This conversation is a timely Easter reminder that the resurrection doesn’t just invite belief…it calls us to follow Jesus boldly and without embarrassment.

Matthew 20:17-19

Sunday morning sermon preached by Joel Higson. For more information, please visit: www.moorlands.org.uk.

In this final message of “Follow Me: Part II,” we will explore the famous passage of the rich man who “went away sad” when invited by Jesus to sell his possessions and follow him. The story is a stark reminder that we are invited to surrender our lives to Jesus, not just go through the religious motions. The words of the martyred missionary Jim Elliot ring true here. “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” What are we willing to surrender to Christ in our trust that he will renew our lives for eternity?

In the final week of our Peter miniseries, we see this rash, eager, and imperfect disciple witnessing the true nature of Jesus as the son of God during the transfiguration. In this sacred moment, Jesus takes three of his disciples away to a high mountain where he is transformed into a being of radiant light, pouring the glory of God into the world. Peter's reaction is predictably bumbling but reflects his faith in Jesus. This moment, especially with Peter's impending denial of Jesus at his trial looming in the not-too-distant future, is an invitation to consider our own faith and willingness to allow the light of Christ to transform our understanding of reality.

Are you thriving in your personal relationship with Jesus? In this message, Pastor Nate Nupanga teaches on how the early church spent time together in community, and how living in community is a blessing, not a burden.

More Like Jesus (Follow ME) - Ian Jones by Somerville St Church of Christ

And is it producing the life you long for? Join us as we dive into John 15 and the call to a life well connected to Christ.

Matthew 8:18-27

Halftime in sports is a chance to regroup, reset, and refocus—and Mark 8 serves a similar purpose in the Gospel. Positioned halfway through the book, it marks a turning point where Jesus reveals the cost of following Him. In this pivotal chapter, He challenges His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and fully embrace the path of discipleship. This moment calls us to pause and ask: Are we truly ready to follow? Eric P. Kuykendall, PhD, Senior Pastor Follow Us Online Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/trinity_bible/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TrinityBibleWillowPark TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@trinitybiblechurch Website - https://trinitybible.com/

Everybody's invited.

At the heart of our ministry lies this mission statement: To glorify God by making disciples.  This isn't a mission we came up with but is a mission Jesus left us with in his teaching of the Great Commission.  If we are going to make disciples and fulfill our mission, we better be able to answer some simple questions about disciples and discipleship.  In this four week series, we tackle four basic questions, beginning with this one: What is a disciple?  Let's look at what Jesus teaches in John 3 about the need to be born again as foundational to what it means to be a disciple of him. 

Who do you follow in your life- who do you model your life after? Join us as Pastor Dalton launches our new series on what it means to follow Jesus. It's not just about knowing Jesus, it's about following him. **********

Taking a look in the mirror…   Hey listeners! Brandon, Matt, and Peter are on the back porch today for a conversation about looking in the mirror and embracing reality. The central idea behind today's conversation is that God reveals the truth to us for our own good. Though sometimes the truth is convicting and uncomfortable, it shows us the way forward. On the flip side, truth can also be very comforting as it cuts through the lies and false narratives that harm us. Join us for advice on dealing with “the shoulds” as well as thinking of God, the movie director! May our conversation today point us all to The Way, The Truth, and The Life, Jesus :)    Follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Check out our website for more resources!

I grew up going to church.  If you had asked me what is a Christian and if I am a Christian, I would have had a puzzled look. I might have said, “What kind of question is that?  Isn't it obvious?  Of course I'm a Christian.  I go to church.  A Christian church.  And I'm not a Buddhist or Muslim or something else.  So what else would I be besides a Christian?”  But I couldn't give you any specifics on that.  […]

Bayou City Fellowship - Cypress Buzzsprout-13125585 Sun, 25 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0500 2104

Show Notes:I know it's important to be confident in who we are & to believe in ourselves, but we cannot rely on ourselves more than we rely on God because He needs to be first in our lives.Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”When we believe WE are all we need, we isolate ourselves from everyone else and from God. You might feel like it doesn't matter because you FEEL like He hasn't come through for you, but you're probably wrong on that, too. God comes through for all of us, even when we don't ask because he's a loving God. But we often struggle to realize this because what we are BLESSED with doesn't always look like what we hoped for. And that's for the better.How many times have other people let you down? How many times have you let yourself down?God won't let you down. The only reason you might THINK he will is when you have expectations of something that doesn't end up happening. But that's not his fault. What you wanted just happened to not align with His will and you didn't have the faith & trust in God to believe He will ALWAYS have your best interests in mind.Here are 5 reasons you should only rely on God:God Never Changes God will ALWAYS be there for you. He is steadfast in character & promises, despite how we might be acting up & allowing our circumstances to dictate our thoughts & actions.Numbers 23:19, “God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?”Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” NLTWe Can Do Nothing Significant Without God God is everything for us in life. He is the one and only source and without Him, we could do nothing of significance. Proverbs 16:3, “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.”He Provides Protection & Guidance He is the one you can call in times of trouble that will ALWAYS answer the call. Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.”He's the Perspective We Need We can't get caught up in believing we can be self-sufficient without God because it's not true. We need Him more than we think.  When we rely on God, we keep the perspective on what's more important: Him. Philippians 4:13, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”It Creates Relationship with Him The more we rely on God & trust Him to handle things, the deeper our relationship with Him gets. We need to surrender DAILY to Him everything in our world. Psalm 55:22, “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.”1 Peter 5:7, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”Support the showWatch the Video Version of RPG: https://www.youtube.com/@realpositivegirl/podcastsBuy the Planner on AMAZON!: https://amzn.to/3WwthT2Visit me on Instagram or TikTok: @sabrinajoyperozzoTwitter: @realsabrinajoyEmail Me: realpositivegirlpodcast@gmail.com Sign up for my weekly newsletter https://www.sabrinajoy.com/newsletterCashApp Show Donations: $sabrinaperozzo
