  1. Recalled Pastor Nathan Weller April 28, 2019

  2. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but • Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. • --Galatians 2.20 NIV

  3. We love because he first loved us. • --1 John 4.19 NIV

  4. Our love for the risen Jesus motivates our desire to • serve him and follow him

  5. 1After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the • Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons • of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. • 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but • that night they caught nothing. • --John 21.1-3 ESV

  6. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father • has sent me, even so I am sending you.” • --John 20.21 ESV

  7. It’s easy to keep doing the familiar, it’s hard to follow Christ

  8. 16Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and • Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and • I will make you become fishers of men.” 18 And immediately they • left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, • he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were • in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called • them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him. • --Mark 1.16-20 ESV

  9. 4Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” • 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and • you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able • to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple whom • Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” • When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord… (cont’d) • --John 21.4-14 ESV

  10. …he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, • and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the • boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from • the land, but about a hundred yards off. 9 When they got out on • land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you • have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled • the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. (cont’d) • --John 21.4-14 ESV

  11. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. • 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of • the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was • the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, • and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. • --John 21.4-14 ESV

  12. If you love God, then you should be doing something about it

  13. 1. Do you love God?

  14. 1. Do you love God? • 2. What are you doing for God as a result of that love?

  15. 15When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” • He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to • him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, • son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you • know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 He said • to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” • Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; • you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. • --John 21.15-17 ESV

  16. “Nathan son of James (my • dad’s name) do you love • me more than ?”

  17. No matter what we’ve done, we can still serve Christ

  18. And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.” • --John 21.19

  19. 1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, • I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, • and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not • love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. • --1 Corinthians 13.1-3 ESV
