Podcasts about John 21

Many folks say they'd be on board with the Bible if only they could uncover some solid proof that the events described really happened. Yet, there are moments when you might realize that no matter how much evidence you present, some people just aren't ready to embrace the gospel with an open heart. Today, Pastor Mark suggests that accepting the gospel calls for a humble heart. God is all set to reveal to you every bit of evidence you need to embrace your faith in Him. But take on the journey by nurturing a heart that receives Him, soaking it all in with an open mind. That's the moment when God can stir your heart with conviction!

It makes you wonder, could you find the strength to lay down your life for Him if the moment ever arose? Deep down, you might feel like you're destined to stumble when it comes to serving God. Today, Pastor Mark shares an inspiring message about how God's grace equips you to handle whatever life throws your way. As you journey alongside God in spirit and faith, you'll find your courage blossoming, empowering you to tackle challenges with a heart full of joy, all while feeling His presence right there with you!

In survey after survey, the gospel of John is always ranked near the top of our favorite books in the Bible. It's easy to see why. This account of the life of Christ carries one central message - believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved! Today pastor Lloyd Pulley brings us his final message in our series through John. 

Matt Morgan

When Jesus turned to Peter and asked if he loved Him, Peter seemed a bit unsure, taking his time to respond. God understood Peter's heart and recognized that he wasn't quite in the mindset that Jesus hoped for him to be in. Yet, Jesus entrusted him with the important role of looking after His people. There could be moments when you find yourself in a similar spot, facing the same question from God that Peter once did. So, does that mean He just leaves you hanging? Today, Pastor Mark shares how Jesus aims to fulfill His purpose in your life. He hopes you'll take that leap of faith to get to the place where Jesus envisions you to be!

If you set out to become prosperous and successful you may achieve your goal and live to regret it. Learning to follow Jesus and do what He has called us-- now that's success no matter what people may think! That's an important lesson to learn and one we'll explore today on Bridging the Gap with pastor Lloyd Pulley.

As we come to the final verses in the Gospel of John, we're reminded of the inexhaustible grace of Jesus and the limitless wonder of God's redemptive work.Today, as we wrap up The Gospel: One Sign at a Time, our year-long study through the Gospel of John, Paul reflects on John 21:24–25 and the power of John's testimony—not just as historical record, but as a call to lifelong awe and faith.To watch the entire series, visit PaulTripp.com/John.

When you ponder the traits that define a great leader, the first thing that pops into your head is that this individual ought to be bold and fearless. Peter possessed all the traits of a great leader, yet he struggled with one crucial aspect: humility and the willingness to acknowledge his imperfections. He required a touch from Jesus to be ready for His purpose. Today, Pastor Mark talks about humility and its vital role in effective leadership. Embracing your mistakes with a touch of sincerity can win you some points with those you lead. God can help you work on your weak areas and guide you to become a good leader!

Hey Kiddos! In today's episode (the last one on the book of John), we hear the amazing story of how Jesus surprised His disciples with a miraculous catch of fish—and even made them breakfast! Simon Peter, John, and the gang had been fishing all night with nothing to show for it. But when a man on the shore told them to try one more time, they pulled in a whole LOAD of fish! That's when they realized—it was Jesus! Peter was so excited he jumped right in and swam to Him.But this wasn't just about breakfast. Jesus had a very special conversation with Peter. Jesus was reminding Peter of his important job: to take care of God's people.And that's not all—Jesus reminded all of His disciples (and us!) to follow Him, no matter what. Even when the road gets tough, He'll be right there.

Peter's dramatic failure and restoration in John 21 shows that everyone, no matter how badly they've fallen, can experience a comeback through Jesus. Staying connected to Christian community and being honest with ourselves and God are the first steps toward restoration. Peter's story reminds us that our failures are not the end, but an invitation from Jesus to follow him into a renewed life of purpose.

Sermon by Pastor Nathan Alley The post Beauty for Ashes – John 21:1-14 first appeared on Applewood Community Church.

It's easy to believe that amassing all the wealth in the world would bring you the fulfillment you crave in life. Pursuing your dreams and passions can bring a fleeting wave of joy. So, how long does it stick around? Do you still sense that void in your heart, even after ticking off all those goals on your list? In today's message, Pastor Mark encourages you to pursue the amazing journey of fulfilling God's purpose for your life. No matter what you chase after, true satisfaction might always feel just out of reach. However, when you find your rhythm with God, a deep sense of peace and joy can fill your life like never before!

Join us for our Sunday morning study through the Gospel of John.

After Peter denied Jesus three times, a wave of sadness and despair washed over him. When Jesus showed up in front of the disciples, Peter dashed over to him without a moment's hesitation. He felt a deep sense of relief, knowing that his Lord had extended forgiveness to him. Do you sense any similarities? Even when you stumble and stray, God doesn't just turn His back on you. Today, Pastor Mark tells you about the incredible grace and mercy that God offers to you. Peter had a feeling deep down that Jesus would forgive him. No matter how you stumble, Jesus is always there, ready to offer you forgiveness. 

Please Enjoy our last sermon from this gospel series.

John 21:15-19 is the full-circle moment of the reconciliation of Peter, and the prophecy of his eventual death. We pause today and step back to ask, what is an accurate view of a life of suffering and self denial? What does it mean to live as a living sacrifice in a 21st century context? And how do we take up the cross of Christ and suffer with Him when we're just going about our every day? If you ever have a question or a comment, email us!

Gregg DeMey, Lead Pastor

21:21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 21:23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

As Pastor Mark continues his teaching series through the Gospel of John, he'll be challenging you to abide in Jesus. To “abide” is to live, continue, or remain; so, to abide in Christ is to live in Him or remain in Him. When a person is saved, he or she is described as being “in Christ”, held secure in a permanent relationship. One of the proofs of salvation is sustained abiding in Christ. The saved will continue in their walk with Christ. That is, they will “abide” or remain in Him. God will complete His work in them, and they will bring forth much fruit to the glory of God. Don't allow anything or anyone to cause you to disconnect from the Lord. 

Kyle Olson, Technical Director

Today, Pastor Mark will explain that God reveals Himself to humans in four primary ways. All that God has created in nature discloses who He is. Our consciences (the human mind and heart) bear witness to the existence of God. He reveals Himself to us through His Word and the person of Jesus Christ. The first two ways God reveals Himself to us are general and limited. But the second two avenues of revelation are personal, full, and complete. God left His throne of divinity in Heaven to be born a baby in a manger, not just to redeem you, but to restore intimate fellowship with Him. He desires a relationship with you! 

Pastor Robin wraps up our Beloved sermon series with an amazing message teaching us to be a great follower of Jesus. 

In John 21:15-25, we see the resurrected Christ commissioning Peter rather than criticizing him. Peter remains mostly like we see him throughout the scriptures, and thankfully Jesus remains unchanged in his grace and love.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

Even though Peter publicly turned his back on Jesus, Jesus never turned His back on Peter.Today, as we continue The Gospel: One Sign at a Time, our year-long study through the Gospel of John, we're looking at the powerful epilogue in John 21, where the risen Christ restores Peter with grace and purpose.For more in-depth Bible studies, visit PaulTripp.com/John.

Breakfast on the Beach ...Oh Peter | Restored & Sent This week's sermon closes out our journey through the Gospel of John with a look at one of the most meaningful conversations in the New Testament. After publicly denying Jesus three times, Peter is met not with condemnation, but restoration. Jesus meets him on the shore, invites him into honest reflection, and reaffirms his calling. Key Insights: 1. No failure is final when surrendered to Jesus. 2. Jesus restores us publicly to use us powerfully. 3. Real restoration starts with honest self-evaluation. 4. Jesus calls us back by asking for our love, not perfection. 5. Our past failures, when redeemed, become tools for ministry. Scripture Reference: John 21 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.21.NIV) This message is a powerful reminder that no failure is final in the hands of Jesus. Whether you're coming off a season of drifting, doubt, or denial, Jesus still invites you to follow Him again.

John 21: 15-19 Rev. Lanier Wood 

John 21:15-19 “A Savior for Failures”Series: John Preacher: Will SpinkSunday MorningDate: 18th May 2025Passage: John 21:15-19

21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? 21:21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 21:23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? 21:24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

In John 21, seven disciples encounter Jesus in the course of an ordinary fishing trip. Like those disciples, our way of doing things often doesn't work. Also like them, Jesus is able to supply our needs - and our greatest need is just to be with Jesus.

In John 21:1-14, Jesus meets the disciples at the Sea of Galilee. The passage is filled with imagery we've hear before - fishermen, nets, a fire of coals and Jesus calling the disciples.  Come discover the One who makes a difference between empty and full nets.

21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Send us a textTrinity Grace Church Worship Service - May 11, 2025: Rev. Michael Novak

This week, we looked at one of the most personal post-resurrection encounters between Jesus and Peter (John 21:1-19). Around a familiar charcoal fire—the same smell that once reminded Peter of his greatest failure—Jesus offered restoration instead of rejection. Peter's internal soundtrack had been one of shame and regret, but Jesus rewrote it with grace and a renewed calling: “Follow me.”

Peter, and several others, fish throughout the night and catch nothing. From the beach, Jesus tells them to lower their nets once again, and they come up with 153 fish. Peter jumps in and swims to see Jesus. The rest of the men also hurry back to the shore, and they all enjoy breakfast with Him. Jesus emphatically instructs Peter to show love for Him by tending His sheep, which is a reference to Christ's followers. Peter, along with all the Apostles, would suffer, even to death, as they devote the rest of their lives to following Jesus. The author of this letter is John, who is one of the Apostles with Jesus on that beach.  Jesus is the Son of God. He had just risen from the dead, and He was about to ascend into heaven. And yet, he took the time to visit disciples on the beach and have breakfast with them. He shared with them what He expected of them and what troubles would soon come. Our Savior is infinitely greater and more important than His followers, and yet He devotes time to them. He sits and eats with them. He shows great patience with them. This is our Lord, and this is how much He loves each one of us. What He asks in return is simple: love Him, help His people, and follow Him in whatever direction He leads us.  Great God of heaven, we have read the words of the Apostle John, an eyewitness to the life of Jesus, and we believe His testimony. From this letter, You have shown us that Jesus is Your Son, that He is both powerful and kind, and that He is worthy to be followed. He cares for us, and He has an important mission for our lives. Help us to know our mission, and to engage in it with the people You put in our path. Make us fishers of men and teach us how to help tend Your Son's sheep.   Thought Questions: -       Jesus told Peter three times to “tend My sheep.” How has the good Shepherd challenged us to take care of His sheep until He returns? -       How should your relationship with Jesus resemble sitting with Him at breakfast and being told by Him how to love and serve Him today? -       John could have written many more things about Jesus. But why did He write this gospel, and what does it teach you about Christ?
