Do you know how many 8 00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:34,210 Speaker 2: times you are just a little shift away from God 9 00:00:34,270 --> 00:00:38,019 Speaker 2: doing something amazing in your life? I was so distracted 10 00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: by what I was struggling with. I did not see 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,260 Speaker 2: what God had already done. He says, I know your 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: heart is breaking, and I know your nets are breaking. 13 00:00:47,620 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: You are not cooked. You are called. You are chosen, 14 00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:55,810 Speaker 2: and he's got you. I'm thankful to be back in 15 00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:58,270 Speaker 2: this pulpit today, and I want to share with you 16 00:00:58,310 --> 00:01:00,860 Speaker 2: a message from John chapter 21. 17 00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: And I'd like you to turn in your Bible. 18 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: If you brought your Bible to John chapter 21, if 19 00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:05,819 Speaker 2: you didn't, the scripture is going to come up on 20 00:01:05,860 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: the screen. And this message comes from a story that 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: is very familiar to our church. I have preached it 22 00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:17,450 Speaker 2: many times, and yet there is a revelation that God 23 00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 2: gave me that I think will be so relevant. to 24 00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:32,380 Speaker 2: our lives today. John, chapter 21. If you don't like 25 00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: who you're sitting next to, you have about 20 seconds 26 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,729 Speaker 2: to move around before I read this scripture. Ask the 27 00:01:39,750 --> 00:01:44,650 Speaker 2: person next to you, are you a good partner? Because 28 00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:47,150 Speaker 2: when Pastor Stephen preaches, I need somebody who's not scared 29 00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:50,710 Speaker 2: to say amen. Come on, I need somebody who's not 30 00:01:50,770 --> 00:01:55,150 Speaker 2: scrolling on Snapchat while he's preaching this word. I need 31 00:01:55,170 --> 00:01:57,590 Speaker 2: somebody who's not just waiting to get to lunch. I 32 00:01:57,630 --> 00:02:00,330 Speaker 2: need a word from God today. I have to make 33 00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:01,650 Speaker 2: sure I'm on the right row. 34 00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:03,770 Speaker 1: Come on. 35 00:02:03,810 --> 00:02:04,870 Speaker 2: Look up and down your row. 36 00:02:04,890 --> 00:02:05,730 Speaker 1: Do a row check. 37 00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:08,660 Speaker 2: Is there anybody who looks like they're barely breathing? I 38 00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:11,740 Speaker 2: want all the fired-up Christians on your row. How are 39 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,380 Speaker 2: y'all doing back there, Legacy? Y'all ready for this word today? 40 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,340 Speaker 3: All right. 41 00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:19,660 Speaker 1: The Word of the Lord. 42 00:02:20,580 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 2: John, chapter 21. I'm going to read up to verse 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,230 Speaker 2: 8 for now. John, chapter 21, verses 1 through 8. 44 00:02:29,230 --> 00:02:33,310 Speaker 2: See if you remember this Bible story. It says, Afterward, 45 00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:37,450 Speaker 2: Jesus appeared again to his disciples by the Sea of Galilee. 46 00:02:38,290 --> 00:02:39,110 Speaker 1: It happened this way. 47 00:02:40,110 --> 00:02:45,660 Speaker 2: Simon Peter, Thomas, also known as Didymus … Yeah, if 48 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: Didymus was my second name, I'd go by Thomas too. 49 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:55,850 Speaker 2: Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee. the sons of Zebedee, and 50 00:02:55,970 --> 00:03:01,070 Speaker 2: two other disciples were together. They were together. They were confused, 51 00:03:01,130 --> 00:03:04,430 Speaker 2: but they were together. They were torn, but they were together. 52 00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:09,030 Speaker 2: They were in transition, but they were together. Tell your neighbor, 53 00:03:09,050 --> 00:03:14,970 Speaker 2: let's stick together. Let's stick together. Verse 3, I'm going 54 00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:19,470 Speaker 2: out to fish, Simon Peter told them. Sounds more like 55 00:03:19,570 --> 00:03:23,910 Speaker 2: Simon than Peter, you know. going back to his previous occupation. 56 00:03:25,850 --> 00:03:28,910 Speaker 2: I'm going out to fish, Simon Peter told them, and 57 00:03:29,010 --> 00:03:32,500 Speaker 2: they said, we'll go with you. So they went out 58 00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 59 00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but 60 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,100 Speaker 2: the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He 61 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,980 Speaker 2: called out to them, friends, haven't you any fish? 62 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,060 Speaker 1: No, they answered. 63 00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:54,810 Speaker 2: He said, throw your net on the right side of 64 00:03:54,850 --> 00:03:58,810 Speaker 2: the boat and you will find some. When they did, 65 00:03:59,930 --> 00:04:03,220 Speaker 2: when they did, when they did, not when they heard, 66 00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:09,619 Speaker 2: when they did, not when they thought, when they, not 67 00:04:09,660 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: when they argued, when they did, when they did, they 68 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: were unable to haul the net in because of the 69 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,700 Speaker 2: large number of fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus thought Loved. 70 00:04:21,740 --> 00:04:26,030 Speaker 2: A little self-referential, isn't it, John? said to Peter, It 71 00:04:26,130 --> 00:04:26,870 Speaker 2: is the Lord! 72 00:04:26,890 --> 00:04:28,710 Speaker 1: And he wrapped his outer. 73 00:04:29,050 --> 00:04:31,589 Speaker 2: Or, excuse me, as soon as Simon Peter heard him say, 74 00:04:32,089 --> 00:04:35,510 Speaker 2: It is the Lord, he wrapped his outer garment around him, 75 00:04:36,050 --> 00:04:38,970 Speaker 2: for he had taken it off, and jumped into the water. 76 00:04:40,170 --> 00:04:44,100 Speaker 2: The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net 77 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about. 78 00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:52,750 Speaker 1: A hundred yards. That's the word of the Lord. 79 00:04:53,290 --> 00:04:55,910 Speaker 2: Now, if I were preaching this message at the Methodist 80 00:04:55,930 --> 00:04:58,390 Speaker 2: church where I grew up, I would call it. 81 00:04:58,430 --> 00:05:03,950 Speaker 1: Something like faith to move forward through failure and frustration. 82 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: I would give it a nice, dignified, self-explanatory title like that. 83 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 2: But since I'm at elevation, since I'm back home, since 84 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: I hadn't seen you in three weeks, I want. 85 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: To call this message something different. I'm going to call 86 00:05:19,260 --> 00:05:28,750 Speaker 1: it cook. Cooked. Cooked. Everybody say cooked. 87 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,700 Speaker 2: If you know what I'm talking about when I say cooked, 88 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,380 Speaker 2: wave at me. If you're pretending like you know what 89 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,859 Speaker 2: I'm talking about, but you kind of want me to clarify, wave. 90 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,180 Speaker 1: Y'all sit down. We'll talk about it. Cooked. 91 00:05:43,779 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: It is a great honor and a great challenge to 92 00:05:47,740 --> 00:05:52,109 Speaker 2: pastor such a diverse and broad body of believers. To 93 00:05:52,140 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: know that some people in this room when I said 94 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:02,740 Speaker 2: John 21, say, Yippee! I love John 21. I hope 95 00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:05,380 Speaker 2: he gets to the part about the three different Greek 96 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,490 Speaker 2: words for love. Some people are looking around for John. 97 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,969 Speaker 1: Who's John? Where's John? I love that. 98 00:06:12,270 --> 00:06:17,870 Speaker 2: Diversity of biblical background, the diversity of cultural background. I 99 00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:20,270 Speaker 2: love how some of you can't clap on rhythm, and 100 00:06:20,290 --> 00:06:24,510 Speaker 2: you've been coming here nine years. but you're still trying 101 00:06:25,370 --> 00:06:28,950 Speaker 2: and you keep coming. I love how our church is 102 00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:32,030 Speaker 2: made up of some people who are going through the 103 00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:34,070 Speaker 2: deepest valley of their life and some people who are 104 00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:35,309 Speaker 2: standing on the highest mountain. 105 00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:36,170 Speaker 1: I love all of that. 106 00:06:37,210 --> 00:06:41,330 Speaker 2: I love how some of y'all are going gray with 107 00:06:41,390 --> 00:06:45,090 Speaker 2: me and like me. Your hairline isn't as good as mine, 108 00:06:45,130 --> 00:06:49,169 Speaker 2: but you're going gray with me. I love how at 109 00:06:49,210 --> 00:06:51,690 Speaker 2: the same time I'm looking over here at about 100 110 00:06:51,690 --> 00:06:54,930 Speaker 2: fired up students who love the Lord Jesus and are 111 00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:59,070 Speaker 2: not afraid to mosh for the man on the middle cross. 112 00:06:59,089 --> 00:07:03,190 Speaker 2: I almost got knocked over in the mosh pit when 113 00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:04,260 Speaker 2: they came up here earlier. 114 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: I was looking for security, man. 115 00:07:05,860 --> 00:07:10,060 Speaker 2: I love that feeling of just on edge. Some of 116 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: y'all don't know the book of Ruth from a baby Ruth, 117 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:12,860 Speaker 2: and that's all right. 118 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,860 Speaker 1: Preacher jokes. 119 00:07:15,690 --> 00:07:17,590 Speaker 2: I love how y'all laugh at preacher jokes, because some 120 00:07:17,610 --> 00:07:19,500 Speaker 2: of you never heard them before. I love all of it, 121 00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:21,650 Speaker 2: and so it's a challenge as well as a privilege, 122 00:07:21,730 --> 00:07:26,710 Speaker 2: because When I say cooked, there are some of you 123 00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:28,150 Speaker 2: who know. 124 00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:31,630 Speaker 1: Exactly what that means in a cultural sense. 125 00:07:32,690 --> 00:07:35,270 Speaker 2: I'm explaining to you real quick, just in case, because 126 00:07:35,310 --> 00:07:36,870 Speaker 2: I get this stuff from my kids. 127 00:07:36,910 --> 00:07:38,890 Speaker 1: I heard my kids say, I'm cooked a couple of 128 00:07:38,910 --> 00:07:43,770 Speaker 1: years ago. I was like, huh? There's kind of a line. 129 00:07:43,910 --> 00:07:46,350 Speaker 2: When you hear your kids saying stuff when you have teenagers, 130 00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:49,070 Speaker 2: it's like a line is what you can say that 131 00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:52,810 Speaker 2: they say. that won't make them cringe. Sometimes I like 132 00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:54,850 Speaker 2: to say their words to make them cringe. It's just 133 00:07:54,910 --> 00:07:56,890 Speaker 2: a form of revenge for all the hell they put 134 00:07:56,910 --> 00:07:57,250 Speaker 2: me through. 135 00:07:57,270 --> 00:08:03,170 Speaker 1: I first heard it from my son Elijah. He said, 136 00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:03,670 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. 137 00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:11,210 Speaker 2: Now, if somebody says, you cooked, well, that's a good thing. 138 00:08:13,910 --> 00:08:19,570 Speaker 2: If they say, you cooked, that means you did that. 139 00:08:19,770 --> 00:08:22,670 Speaker 2: That means you That means when they. 140 00:08:22,590 --> 00:08:27,390 Speaker 1: Say, you cooked, you cooked, that's a compliment, right? Like, ooh, 141 00:08:27,610 --> 00:08:31,550 Speaker 1: they're looking at your outfit. Ooh, that's nice. You cooked 142 00:08:31,570 --> 00:08:35,580 Speaker 1: with that. You say, thank you. You cooked. 143 00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:38,860 Speaker 2: Or sometimes I'll show my kids a song that I 144 00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:41,540 Speaker 2: just wrote, and I'll play them the demo, and they'll 145 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,979 Speaker 2: be like, ooh, y'all cooked today. 146 00:08:44,820 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: I say, thank you. Yes, we did. 147 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,429 Speaker 2: We absolutely did. And even sometimes, you know, if you 148 00:08:52,450 --> 00:08:54,860 Speaker 2: just do something that people just want to, like, gas 149 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,980 Speaker 2: you up a little bit, they'll be like, you cooked 150 00:08:57,020 --> 00:08:58,860 Speaker 2: when you really did it, like, just to make you 151 00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: feel better. 152 00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,100 Speaker 1: But it's a compliment. You say, thank you. If, however, 153 00:09:04,179 --> 00:09:06,500 Speaker 1: they say, you're cooked. 154 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:16,460 Speaker 2: Uh-oh. Because you're cooked is a problem, not a compliment. 155 00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:19,939 Speaker 2: I know it's confusing because we're a multigenerational ministry, but 156 00:09:20,380 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: you cooked, thank you. You're cooked, uh-oh. Two completely different things. 157 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: Same word, but you just have to listen for the 158 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: nuance of it. 159 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,660 Speaker 2: I'm cooked. I got a test in an hour I 160 00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:35,020 Speaker 2: didn't study. I'm cooked. 161 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:36,900 Speaker 1: Pray about it. 162 00:09:36,990 --> 00:09:39,370 Speaker 2: It don't matter. God is not listening to the prayers 163 00:09:39,450 --> 00:09:51,930 Speaker 2: of a sinner. I'm cooked. Oh, that's a cop. I'm 164 00:09:51,970 --> 00:09:55,470 Speaker 2: going 87 miles an hour. It's because I was listening 165 00:09:55,510 --> 00:09:57,929 Speaker 2: to Washed, but the cop isn't going to care that 166 00:09:57,970 --> 00:09:58,950 Speaker 2: I was full. 167 00:09:58,830 --> 00:09:59,730 Speaker 1: Of the Holy Spirit. 168 00:09:59,809 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: I'm cooked. 169 00:10:02,420 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. 170 00:10:03,420 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: Oh, my mom knows I turned my location off. I'm cooked. 171 00:10:12,670 --> 00:10:18,370 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. There's no way out of this. You may 172 00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:20,370 Speaker 1: never say that. That might not be your word. 173 00:10:20,429 --> 00:10:22,900 Speaker 2: Your word might not be as appropriate as cooked, but 174 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,220 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying? It's just a word I heard, 175 00:10:26,540 --> 00:10:28,860 Speaker 2: and I kind of latched onto it, because we all 176 00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:32,459 Speaker 2: know what it feels like to come face to face 177 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,670 Speaker 2: with something where you realize, I have more responsibilities than 178 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:37,670 Speaker 2: I have resources. 179 00:10:38,290 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm cooked. I'm cooked. 180 00:10:41,260 --> 00:10:43,540 Speaker 2: I'm looking at my schedule for the next three weeks, 181 00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:46,469 Speaker 2: and I don't see a break, and I'm already exhausted, 182 00:10:46,510 --> 00:10:48,770 Speaker 2: and I'm about to go into my busiest season. 183 00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:51,530 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. I'm cooked. 184 00:10:51,550 --> 00:10:53,290 Speaker 2: So, if I'm introducing you to this term for the 185 00:10:53,330 --> 00:10:56,950 Speaker 2: first time, then great, but no doubt you know the feeling. 186 00:10:57,830 --> 00:10:58,350 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. 187 00:10:59,929 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: I'm never going to be able to get this problem 188 00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:03,580 Speaker 2: behind me. 189 00:11:03,660 --> 00:11:04,140 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. 190 00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:07,699 Speaker 2: The doctor called me back and said it was important 191 00:11:07,740 --> 00:11:09,740 Speaker 2: that I come in right away. 192 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,100 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. 193 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: It usually signifies that there's nothing I can do but 194 00:11:16,020 --> 00:11:18,300 Speaker 2: to accept the consequence. 195 00:11:19,260 --> 00:11:24,579 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. I'm cooked. I wasted those years. Now I 196 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,530 Speaker 1: can't get a job. I'm cooked. I knew my marriage 197 00:11:29,570 --> 00:11:30,170 Speaker 1: was in trouble. 198 00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:32,130 Speaker 2: I think she's really going to leave me this time. 199 00:11:33,250 --> 00:11:37,210 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. See how I went from stupid stuff like 200 00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:39,350 Speaker 1: your homework … and your. 201 00:11:39,230 --> 00:11:44,010 Speaker 2: Outfit to something so serious as I think it's too 202 00:11:44,050 --> 00:11:45,890 Speaker 2: late for me to beat this addiction. I think it's 203 00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:47,929 Speaker 2: just in me now. I think it was in my 204 00:11:47,980 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: dad and his dad, and I'm cooked, and now I've 205 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: run off all the people that helped me the first time. 206 00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:58,380 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. Have you ever been cooked? 207 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,740 Speaker 2: I think it's safe to say that in John chapter 21, 208 00:12:02,740 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: Simon Peter was cooked. 209 00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: Think about it. 210 00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 2: Every aspect of this passage points not to the glorious 211 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: resurrection of Jesus, which has already happened, but the lack 212 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,900 Speaker 2: of resolution in his own life, which he's still waiting for. 213 00:12:22,730 --> 00:12:28,790 Speaker 2: The resurrection of Jesus was not resolution for Peter. Even 214 00:12:28,830 --> 00:12:32,150 Speaker 2: though the finished work of the cross was done, the uncertain. 215 00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:35,890 Speaker 1: Future of the disciple still loomed. He's cooked. 216 00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:41,829 Speaker 2: He's cooked because He's ruined his reputation as a preacher, 217 00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:45,710 Speaker 2: and he's given up his profession as a fisherman. We 218 00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:48,170 Speaker 2: can tell he's out of practice because, as I read 219 00:12:48,190 --> 00:12:50,620 Speaker 2: you in the text, he fished all night and. 220 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: Caught nothing, cooked, frustrated, cooked a failure. 221 00:12:58,380 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: Yet we see in the passage he's moving forward in 222 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:09,069 Speaker 2: faith through failure and frustration because he's cooked. But even 223 00:13:09,170 --> 00:13:14,150 Speaker 2: though you feel cooked, there's usually something you can do. 224 00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:15,309 Speaker 1: Am I right about it? 225 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 2: I find all of this all-or-nothing thinking or this overgeneralization … 226 00:13:21,780 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 2: I learned these words when I started going to therapy 227 00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:28,699 Speaker 2: to help me with my own issues. Sometimes what we 228 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,939 Speaker 2: do is we slap a label on something, and once 229 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,780 Speaker 2: we call it over, we don't have to work on. 230 00:13:34,740 --> 00:13:37,460 Speaker 1: It anymore because I'm cooked. 231 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,650 Speaker 2: There's no need in me getting my grade up in 232 00:13:41,690 --> 00:13:45,599 Speaker 2: this class because I'm already cooked. There's no need on 233 00:13:46,179 --> 00:13:48,140 Speaker 2: me eating broccoli tomorrow. 234 00:13:48,860 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: Because I just ate Krispy Kreme today. 235 00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:55,130 Speaker 2: Why would I eat cauliflower tomorrow when I'm already cooked 236 00:13:55,170 --> 00:13:56,290 Speaker 2: from the Krispy Kreme today? 237 00:13:56,570 --> 00:13:57,270 Speaker 1: I'm already cooked. 238 00:13:57,290 --> 00:14:00,449 Speaker 2: It kind of absolves you from the responsibility. Like, well, 239 00:14:00,650 --> 00:14:03,390 Speaker 2: I already raised my voice. I ought to go ahead 240 00:14:03,650 --> 00:14:05,310 Speaker 2: and do it at a black belt level now. Let 241 00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:07,500 Speaker 2: me add some cuss words in here now, because I'm 242 00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:10,220 Speaker 2: already cooked. Do you see how it can quickly become 243 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,020 Speaker 2: a fatalistic state of mind to say something like,' It' s over. 244 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: I'm done. It's cooked. It's too late. 245 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:16,980 Speaker 2: I'm cooked. 246 00:14:17,179 --> 00:14:17,620 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. 247 00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:22,229 Speaker 2: I want to challenge you from Peter's life that even 248 00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:24,890 Speaker 2: when you feel cooked … Who am I preaching to? 249 00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:28,010 Speaker 1: You don't say that. You don't say, I'm cooked. 250 00:14:28,050 --> 00:14:31,770 Speaker 2: You're 63 years old, but you feel it in your bones. 251 00:14:32,110 --> 00:14:35,130 Speaker 2: Too late now. Too old now. Too far gone now. 252 00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:37,300 Speaker 2: Should have done it then. Would have done it then. 253 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 2: Could have done it then. I'm cooked. They should have 254 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: done it for me. He should have been there for me. 255 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,940 Speaker 2: I'm cooked, and it's their fault. I'm cooked, and it's 256 00:14:43,980 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: my fault. It doesn't matter whose fault it is. How 257 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,530 Speaker 2: may I move forward by faith right now is the 258 00:14:53,570 --> 00:14:58,350 Speaker 2: question we came to ask today. Peter said something in 259 00:14:58,390 --> 00:15:04,610 Speaker 2: verse 3. He said, I'm going fishing. Even though fishing 260 00:15:04,690 --> 00:15:09,210 Speaker 2: isn't going to fix it, that's all I know to do. So, 261 00:15:09,250 --> 00:15:12,740 Speaker 2: when you don't know what to do, do what you 262 00:15:12,770 --> 00:15:17,490 Speaker 2: can do. You mean you drove all the way out 263 00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:21,010 Speaker 2: here to hear me say something that simple? Yep. One 264 00:15:21,050 --> 00:15:23,190 Speaker 2: time I was going through a little bit of a 265 00:15:23,650 --> 00:15:27,270 Speaker 2: meltdown in my mind, and I called a friend to 266 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,620 Speaker 2: talk about all the issues. I was cooked and burned 267 00:15:30,740 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: out and tired, and my friend said, Have you been 268 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: outside today? I said, Have you been listening to anything 269 00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: I've told you? I did not call you as my 270 00:15:43,940 --> 00:15:47,740 Speaker 2: activity consultant. I called you to give me some advice 271 00:15:47,860 --> 00:15:50,250 Speaker 2: about all of my problems, which I have just listed 272 00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:53,370 Speaker 2: for you. I have staff members quitting on me. I 273 00:15:53,410 --> 00:15:56,950 Speaker 2: have church drama. At the time, we had buildings we 274 00:15:56,990 --> 00:16:00,510 Speaker 2: had to pay for. I have seven Easter services. 275 00:16:00,090 --> 00:16:02,150 Speaker 1: I'm about to preach. I'm cooked. 276 00:16:02,310 --> 00:16:08,150 Speaker 2: They said, it's a beautiful day outside. Would you maybe 277 00:16:08,190 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: want to take a walk while we talk? Something about serotonin. 278 00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:20,340 Speaker 2: Something about sunshine. Something about that simple. You know how 279 00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:23,580 Speaker 2: you get in your head, and Peter is all in 280 00:16:23,620 --> 00:16:26,940 Speaker 2: his head, and he's cooked, and I denied Christ, and 281 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,860 Speaker 2: I cursed by the fire, and I said I wasn't 282 00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:32,500 Speaker 2: one of his disciples, and I said I wouldn't let 283 00:16:32,540 --> 00:16:34,750 Speaker 2: him down, and I was the first to let him down, 284 00:16:35,110 --> 00:16:37,850 Speaker 2: and I've seen that he's risen, and I've seen that 285 00:16:37,890 --> 00:16:40,910 Speaker 2: he lives, but I'm lost. You can know that he 286 00:16:40,990 --> 00:16:43,930 Speaker 2: lives and still feel lost. You can know that he's 287 00:16:44,030 --> 00:16:47,030 Speaker 2: risen and still not have resolution. You can be in 288 00:16:47,090 --> 00:16:49,750 Speaker 2: between even though you've seen him, even though you know him, 289 00:16:50,030 --> 00:16:52,780 Speaker 2: even though you've touched him, even though he showed Thomas. 290 00:16:53,060 --> 00:16:55,460 Speaker 2: Put your hand in the side. Put your hand in 291 00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 2: the holes. Even though you have had evidence of the 292 00:16:57,780 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: presence of God, there can be a sense in your 293 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,940 Speaker 2: life where you feel paralyzed about what to do next. 294 00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 2: So Peter said, I know how to fish. Let me 295 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: get out there and do what I know how to do. 296 00:17:10,609 --> 00:17:15,949 Speaker 2: Not just fish, but let me fish on the same sea, 297 00:17:15,970 --> 00:17:20,330 Speaker 2: the Sea of Galilee, where he found me and he 298 00:17:20,410 --> 00:17:24,649 Speaker 2: called me. Somebody say, he called me. I want to 299 00:17:24,670 --> 00:17:27,899 Speaker 2: divide this sermon into three points today. The first one 300 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,990 Speaker 2: is the call. I want to talk to you for 301 00:17:32,030 --> 00:17:36,030 Speaker 2: a few moments today about the call, because the Sea 302 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:38,290 Speaker 2: of Galilee is not only where Peter. 303 00:17:38,050 --> 00:17:40,470 Speaker 1: Went to fish after he failed Jesus. 304 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 2: It was where he learned to follow Jesus to begin 305 00:17:43,780 --> 00:17:47,180 Speaker 2: with in Luke, chapter 5, when Jesus said, let down 306 00:17:47,220 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 2: the nets for. 307 00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:52,020 Speaker 1: A catch after he had taught all day from Peter's boat. 308 00:17:52,619 --> 00:17:56,950 Speaker 2: So, Peter, fresh from his failure, deep in frustration, not 309 00:17:57,170 --> 00:18:01,510 Speaker 2: knowing what's next, completely cooked from a human standpoint, says 310 00:18:01,570 --> 00:18:05,350 Speaker 2: something so simple. I'm going back to the place where 311 00:18:05,390 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: he called me. I'm going back to the place where 312 00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 2: he got on my boat. I know this is so simple, 313 00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:15,340 Speaker 2: but sometimes when you feel cooked, you just need to 314 00:18:15,420 --> 00:18:20,220 Speaker 2: come back. Come back to some simple things. Come back 315 00:18:20,260 --> 00:18:22,900 Speaker 2: to what you know. Come back to, he loves me. 316 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,900 Speaker 2: Come back to, he died for me. Sometimes you make 317 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,060 Speaker 2: it too complicated. Sometimes you need God to show you 318 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: three steps. Sometimes God only needs to give you one step. 319 00:18:33,020 --> 00:18:38,290 Speaker 2: Praise me. Worship me. Glorify me. Speak the name of Jesus. 320 00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:43,629 Speaker 2: Get around somebody who loves God like you love God. Oh, 321 00:18:43,670 --> 00:18:46,870 Speaker 2: magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his 322 00:18:46,930 --> 00:18:51,150 Speaker 2: name together. Peter said to his partners, I'm going fishing, 323 00:18:51,490 --> 00:18:53,939 Speaker 2: and they said, I'm going with you, so ask your 324 00:18:53,980 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 2: neighbor a question. Will you praise him with me? I'm 325 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,020 Speaker 2: going through some things right now, and I need somebody 326 00:19:00,060 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 2: on my row right now who really knows what it's 327 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,370 Speaker 2: like when he's alive. but you're a little lost to 328 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,830 Speaker 2: come back to the place where he found you. Tell 329 00:19:12,850 --> 00:19:14,230 Speaker 2: three people, I'm coming back. I'm coming back. 330 00:19:14,290 --> 00:19:15,310 Speaker 1: I'm coming back. I'm coming back. 331 00:19:15,630 --> 00:19:16,950 Speaker 2: I'm coming back. I'm coming back. 332 00:19:17,170 --> 00:19:17,670 Speaker 1: I'm coming back. 333 00:19:17,930 --> 00:19:19,570 Speaker 2: I don't know when I'll see him again, but I'm 334 00:19:19,609 --> 00:19:21,910 Speaker 2: going back to the Sea of Galilee where he taught 335 00:19:21,950 --> 00:19:23,899 Speaker 2: me how to obey him, where he said, let. 336 00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: Down the nets for a catch. 337 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,260 Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting that this miracle I read you resembles 338 00:19:28,340 --> 00:19:32,340 Speaker 2: so closely the miracle that began Peter's ministry, and Jesus 339 00:19:32,420 --> 00:19:33,780 Speaker 2: is bringing him full circle? 340 00:19:36,940 --> 00:19:43,090 Speaker 1: Look at verse 5, y'all. He called out to them. 341 00:19:44,290 --> 00:19:47,530 Speaker 1: Circle called, Justin. He called. 342 00:19:48,970 --> 00:20:00,740 Speaker 4: Somebody say, I'm still called. Cooked, but I'm called. Confused, 343 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 4: but I'm called. It's complicated, but I'm called. 344 00:20:07,980 --> 00:20:12,580 Speaker 2: I'm back fishing for a minute. but when he went 345 00:20:12,660 --> 00:20:17,300 Speaker 2: back to the place of his original call, the first love, 346 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,870 Speaker 2: the joy of my salvation, the place where I remember … 347 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,470 Speaker 2: I do this every time we go out on Elevation Nights. 348 00:20:26,510 --> 00:20:29,390 Speaker 1: You can ask the boys. I come in, and we pray. 349 00:20:29,410 --> 00:20:33,909 Speaker 2: Usually, I say, remembering your mind when you were a 350 00:20:33,950 --> 00:20:36,130 Speaker 2: little boy, when you were a little girl, and you 351 00:20:36,250 --> 00:20:39,570 Speaker 2: prayed that God would use you to lead people to 352 00:20:39,630 --> 00:20:43,450 Speaker 2: worship him. Remember that as we go into the next 353 00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 2: few nights, because you're going to get tired, and there's 354 00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:48,060 Speaker 2: going to be resistance, and there are going to be 355 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,820 Speaker 2: times where you're smelling his feet on the. 356 00:20:49,780 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: Tour bus or whatever is happening. 357 00:20:52,359 --> 00:21:01,409 Speaker 2: In order to have resilience, you need remembrance, the call. 358 00:21:01,750 --> 00:21:07,189 Speaker 1: So, when he comes back to the place, Jesus, he 359 00:21:08,190 --> 00:21:12,530 Speaker 1: called out to them. Check it out. It gets better. 360 00:21:12,930 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: Not only did Jesus come to the sea and call 361 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:23,580 Speaker 1: on the sea, look what he called them. Friends. Would 362 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,300 Speaker 1: you have still called Peter your friend? 363 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,500 Speaker 2: Me and Jesus must have a different definition of friend, 364 00:21:33,580 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 2: because my definition of friendship has to be kind of reciprocal. 365 00:21:37,859 --> 00:21:42,409 Speaker 2: If they're beating me, scourging me, mocking me, and the 366 00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:44,889 Speaker 2: best you can do is stand back by the fire 367 00:21:44,950 --> 00:21:47,490 Speaker 2: and warm your hands like you don't. 368 00:21:47,369 --> 00:21:51,530 Speaker 1: Know me, look at it again. He called out to them. 369 00:21:51,550 --> 00:21:58,179 Speaker 1: I can think of some other words. Fools, don't you 370 00:21:58,220 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: have any fish? 371 00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:02,859 Speaker 2: Because this is an opportunity for him to really shame 372 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,540 Speaker 2: them should he choose to. Shame is like that blanket 373 00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:10,550 Speaker 2: that gets on you and starts reminding you of the 374 00:22:10,609 --> 00:22:14,649 Speaker 2: fact that not only did you fail Jesus, but you 375 00:22:14,690 --> 00:22:17,310 Speaker 2: can't even catch fish. How many have had a thought 376 00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:18,890 Speaker 2: like that this week? Let me break this down, Pastor, 377 00:22:18,910 --> 00:22:22,350 Speaker 2: a little bit. You can't even get this right. You 378 00:22:22,369 --> 00:22:25,790 Speaker 2: can't even get the thing. Not only are you not 379 00:22:25,850 --> 00:22:28,570 Speaker 2: succeeding in this area, you're not even getting that right. 380 00:22:28,930 --> 00:22:32,510 Speaker 2: I am telling you, the longer I pastor, the more 381 00:22:32,590 --> 00:22:36,649 Speaker 2: I am compelled by the compassion of Christ than the 382 00:22:36,730 --> 00:22:42,970 Speaker 2: condemnation that has often been leveled against his people in 383 00:22:43,050 --> 00:22:46,609 Speaker 2: order to create leverage for behavior modification that is not 384 00:22:46,730 --> 00:22:48,010 Speaker 2: grace-based change. 385 00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: He called out to them. I'm called. How do I 386 00:23:00,380 --> 00:23:06,460 Speaker 1: continue when I'm cooked? Because I'm called. Because I'm called 387 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,950 Speaker 1: when I'm cooked. Because I'm called when I'm consistent. I'm 388 00:23:10,990 --> 00:23:12,129 Speaker 1: called when I'm sporadic. 389 00:23:13,230 --> 00:23:19,730 Speaker 2: I'm called when I'm impulsive and crazy. And I'm called 390 00:23:20,130 --> 00:23:24,300 Speaker 2: when my actions and my behaviors … I think we 391 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 2: have a different idea of called than God. See, when 392 00:23:27,859 --> 00:23:35,420 Speaker 2: God called Peter, he also called Simon. And he knew 393 00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:39,860 Speaker 2: all about Simon when he called Peter. Peter wasn't even 394 00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:42,220 Speaker 2: his name before Jesus met him. Can I preach about 395 00:23:42,260 --> 00:23:46,690 Speaker 2: Jesus for a minute? This is a Christian church. And see, 396 00:23:46,970 --> 00:23:49,390 Speaker 2: whatever Jesus calls it, that's what it is. So when 397 00:23:49,450 --> 00:23:53,570 Speaker 2: Jesus called Peter rock, that's what he was, even though 398 00:23:53,650 --> 00:23:58,110 Speaker 2: his failure was still in his future. And although Peter 399 00:23:58,170 --> 00:24:01,170 Speaker 2: was shocked by his denial of Christ, Christ wasn't. 400 00:24:02,780 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: So I'm called. I'm called. 401 00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:11,300 Speaker 2: I'm still called. God calls all of me. all of 402 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 2: the parts of me. Do y'all hear me up there? 403 00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:17,770 Speaker 2: God calls all of you, every part of you, not 404 00:24:17,810 --> 00:24:20,889 Speaker 2: just the parts you think are presentable, not just in 405 00:24:20,930 --> 00:24:23,290 Speaker 2: the seasons of your life when you feel the strongest, 406 00:24:23,730 --> 00:24:26,550 Speaker 2: not just when you have everything together to present in 407 00:24:26,590 --> 00:24:27,630 Speaker 2: an impressive. 408 00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:28,369 Speaker 1: Portfolio for others. 409 00:24:28,830 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: God calls all of you, even your mistakes. I know 410 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,940 Speaker 2: you can't handle this, because we think God is going 411 00:24:35,980 --> 00:24:39,500 Speaker 2: to use us only in our maturity, but God has 412 00:24:39,540 --> 00:24:43,580 Speaker 2: a process. by which he gets things ready. God will 413 00:24:43,660 --> 00:24:46,980 Speaker 2: use every stage of your development if you embrace him 414 00:24:47,020 --> 00:24:50,820 Speaker 2: by faith to release grace in your life to show you, 415 00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 2: I'm called. I'm his friend. I'm with him. Even when 416 00:24:55,740 --> 00:24:58,850 Speaker 2: I wasn't with him, he was with me, and I'm 417 00:24:58,930 --> 00:25:06,070 Speaker 2: called to do this. I can because I'm called. So 418 00:25:06,109 --> 00:25:10,550 Speaker 2: he called out to them, Friends, haven't you any fish? No, 419 00:25:10,570 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: they answered. But he doesn't only point to the problem. 420 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: He points to the solution. 421 00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:22,460 Speaker 2: Verse 6 says, throw your net on the right side 422 00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 2: of the boat, and you will find some. When they did, 423 00:25:25,380 --> 00:25:26,629 Speaker 2: they weren't able to haul in the net because of 424 00:25:26,660 --> 00:25:27,590 Speaker 2: the large number of fish. I want to talk to 425 00:25:27,609 --> 00:25:36,609 Speaker 2: you secondly about the catch. There's the call, and then 426 00:25:36,630 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: there's the catch. The great catch of fish. Later we 427 00:25:40,260 --> 00:25:40,580 Speaker 2: learned it. 428 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,179 Speaker 1: Was 153 fish. 429 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: You know, men like to count stuff, like their bench 430 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:52,220 Speaker 2: press number and their bank account. It's kind of crazy 431 00:25:52,260 --> 00:25:56,739 Speaker 2: how from verse 5 to verse 6 something shifted that 432 00:25:56,790 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 2: was so monumental. 433 00:25:58,950 --> 00:26:01,070 Speaker 1: Based on something so microscopic. 434 00:26:03,109 --> 00:26:07,130 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes the miracle you need is one modification 435 00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: away Notice what he didn't say in verse 6. He 436 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,570 Speaker 2: didn't say, You're in the wrong sea. He didn't say, 437 00:26:18,609 --> 00:26:20,830 Speaker 2: You're in the wrong sea. He said, You're on the 438 00:26:20,890 --> 00:26:27,310 Speaker 2: wrong side. If I'm in the wrong sea, that means 439 00:26:27,530 --> 00:26:30,490 Speaker 2: there are no fish here, but if I'm in the 440 00:26:30,550 --> 00:26:37,130 Speaker 2: right sea and the wrong side, there's something so simple. 441 00:26:37,910 --> 00:26:40,859 Speaker 1: They went from empty nets to full nets. 442 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,510 Speaker 2: But the problem with us is we want the catch 443 00:26:46,390 --> 00:26:55,030 Speaker 2: without the correction. So, we say, I'm cooked, and God says, 444 00:26:55,310 --> 00:26:56,070 Speaker 2: you're not cooked. 445 00:26:56,450 --> 00:27:01,700 Speaker 1: You just need a correction. Sometimes it's just a small correction. 446 00:27:02,260 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 2: I'm cooked. I've got all of this anxiety in my life. 447 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,050 Speaker 2: You're not cooked. You just need one correction. See, you 448 00:27:09,090 --> 00:27:12,130 Speaker 2: wake up every morning, and you start scrolling what other 449 00:27:12,170 --> 00:27:13,210 Speaker 2: people are saying. 450 00:27:12,970 --> 00:27:13,730 Speaker 1: To start the day. 451 00:27:14,410 --> 00:27:17,100 Speaker 2: One correction. You said, I woke up on the wrong 452 00:27:17,180 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: side of the bed. When you throw your net on 453 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 2: the right side of the boat and say, God, I'm 454 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: starting my day with you. What do you say? What 455 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,350 Speaker 2: do you want? Before I check in with what's going 456 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,490 Speaker 2: on in the world, let me get within and meet 457 00:27:32,550 --> 00:27:36,830 Speaker 2: up with my source and hook up with my God. 458 00:27:40,220 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: Just a little shift. Do you know how many times 459 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: you are just a little shift away from God doing 460 00:27:48,260 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 2: something amazing in your life? There's a catch, and it's 461 00:27:51,740 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 2: not in another sea. 462 00:27:53,140 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: It's on another side of the same boat. 463 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 2: Let me break this down plain. Some of you are 464 00:27:57,260 --> 00:27:59,140 Speaker 2: married to the right person. You just need to start 465 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,810 Speaker 2: treating them the right way. Y'all want me to take 466 00:28:04,869 --> 00:28:08,860 Speaker 2: three more weeks off, don't you? But I came back 467 00:28:08,900 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 2: to tell somebody, you're in the right sea, baby. You're 468 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,020 Speaker 2: in the right sea. There are other fish on the 469 00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 2: other side. Oh, you could have a good family if 470 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 2: you'd get grateful and stop nitpicking. You've got a good 471 00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:28,239 Speaker 2: life if you'd start thanking the Lord for it. Isn't 472 00:28:28,260 --> 00:28:32,780 Speaker 2: that good? I'm in the right seat. I just have 473 00:28:32,820 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: to get on the right side. I just have to 474 00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 2: approach this differently. 475 00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:38,780 Speaker 1: I just have to come at it by grace. 476 00:28:40,620 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 2: I'm going from an empty net to a full net. 477 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: You're not cooked, but you're going to have to be corrected. 478 00:28:55,460 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 2: You're going to have to do something different. You're going 479 00:28:57,700 --> 00:28:59,780 Speaker 2: to have to be willing to adjust your attitude a 480 00:28:59,820 --> 00:29:02,540 Speaker 2: little bit. You're going to have to be willing to admit, 481 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 2: you know, I probably could have said that better. You're 482 00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:07,180 Speaker 2: going to have to be willing to admit, you know what? 483 00:29:07,220 --> 00:29:09,100 Speaker 2: I'm casting myself as the victim here. 484 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,390 Speaker 1: You know what? Y'all quiet. 485 00:29:13,390 --> 00:29:16,470 Speaker 2: You know what? There's nothing wrong with the sea. 486 00:29:16,930 --> 00:29:21,660 Speaker 1: It's the side I'm fishing on that has my nets empty. 487 00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 2: Do y'all want more on that, or do you want 488 00:29:24,660 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 2: me to move on to point three? 489 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: Point three is my sermon. Point one, edamame. But here 490 00:29:41,820 --> 00:29:42,260 Speaker 1: it comes. 491 00:29:43,570 --> 00:29:48,550 Speaker 2: Because when I have preached this text historically, I have 492 00:29:48,790 --> 00:29:52,820 Speaker 2: been so impressed by the catch of that just on. 493 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: The other side of the boat. God is going to 494 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,060 Speaker 1: give you a blessing, and it's right there. 495 00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: God is going to bless you, and you're going to 496 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 2: go from empty nets to sinking boats. I'm attracted to 497 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,310 Speaker 2: that kind of preaching and teaching, because I know God can. 498 00:30:06,350 --> 00:30:07,210 Speaker 1: I've seen him do it. 499 00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:09,970 Speaker 2: I've seen him do stuff. I've seen him change stuff 500 00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:12,530 Speaker 2: just right on the spot. I've seen him switch. 501 00:30:12,230 --> 00:30:13,650 Speaker 1: Stuff just right on the spot. 502 00:30:14,010 --> 00:30:17,390 Speaker 2: I've seen him move things just in a moment, so 503 00:30:17,430 --> 00:30:18,530 Speaker 2: I'm tempted to stop. 504 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,380 Speaker 1: On the catch. 505 00:30:20,460 --> 00:30:25,980 Speaker 2: But this sermon is not called catch. So I want 506 00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:31,850 Speaker 2: to show you. What happened next. After they were hauling 507 00:30:31,930 --> 00:30:34,190 Speaker 2: in heavy nets. After he called. 508 00:30:34,250 --> 00:30:38,610 Speaker 1: And then he. And then he jumped in the water. 509 00:30:39,010 --> 00:30:39,990 Speaker 1: And he swam toward. 510 00:30:40,810 --> 00:30:41,210 Speaker 2: The Lord. 511 00:30:41,310 --> 00:30:47,770 Speaker 1: And verse 9 says something. Crazy. When they landed. 512 00:30:50,600 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: They saw a fire of burning coals there with fish. 513 00:31:02,180 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 3: On it. 514 00:31:05,070 --> 00:31:11,969 Speaker 1: And some bread. So wait a minute. Back up. 515 00:31:12,930 --> 00:31:17,110 Speaker 2: We talked about the call. We talked about the catch. 516 00:31:18,190 --> 00:31:25,090 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the coals. of burning fire that were 517 00:31:25,270 --> 00:31:31,390 Speaker 2: on the shore so that after Peter swam to the 518 00:31:31,530 --> 00:31:36,730 Speaker 2: shore half naked, put his clothes back on to jump 519 00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:39,980 Speaker 2: in the water. You think God can't use you because 520 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,260 Speaker 2: you're crazy? That's the craziest thing I've ever heard in 521 00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:49,140 Speaker 2: my life. After denying Christ, after fishing all night catching 522 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,110 Speaker 2: nothing … After being cooked by his own decision, cooked 523 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,330 Speaker 2: by his own inadequacy, cooked by his own impulsivity, cooked 524 00:31:57,390 --> 00:32:01,290 Speaker 2: by his own desire for self-protection, after thinking it's over, 525 00:32:01,390 --> 00:32:04,610 Speaker 2: and can God use me now? I'm hauling these heavy 526 00:32:04,690 --> 00:32:07,790 Speaker 2: nets on the shore, and the boat's coming behind Peter. 527 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 2: Peter is a leader who doesn't know where he's going. 528 00:32:11,140 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 2: After all of this, he gets to the shore, and 529 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:21,110 Speaker 2: he sees a fire of burning coals there. with fish 530 00:32:22,450 --> 00:32:28,290 Speaker 2: on it. So, you mean to tell me that what 531 00:32:28,370 --> 00:32:40,060 Speaker 2: they were trying all night to catch, Jesus already cooked. 532 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,540 Speaker 2: You get excited about the catch, but I'm excited about 533 00:32:49,580 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 2: the cook. I'm not here today because I'm so good 534 00:32:54,220 --> 00:33:00,990 Speaker 2: at catching. I'm here today because he's so good at cooking. 535 00:33:01,030 --> 00:33:04,970 Speaker 2: Here's my message in a sentence. Let him cook. He's 536 00:33:05,050 --> 00:33:08,870 Speaker 2: good at it. Let him cook in your life. Let 537 00:33:08,910 --> 00:33:16,220 Speaker 2: him cook in your family. Let him cook in this situation. Ooh, 538 00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:20,610 Speaker 2: that got me fired up. No pun intended. I was 539 00:33:20,670 --> 00:33:24,190 Speaker 2: so distracted by the fish in the net, I didn't 540 00:33:24,250 --> 00:33:27,970 Speaker 2: see the fish that were already on the fire. I 541 00:33:28,030 --> 00:33:31,690 Speaker 2: was so distracted by what I was struggling with, I 542 00:33:31,730 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 2: did not see what God had already done. I was 543 00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:39,380 Speaker 2: so distracted by how heavy the nets were, I didn't 544 00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 2: realize that the fish I've been looking for are already here, 545 00:33:44,140 --> 00:33:47,150 Speaker 2: and he's got one on the fire with my name 546 00:33:47,210 --> 00:33:54,670 Speaker 2: on it. Are you feeling this message? You thought I 547 00:33:54,750 --> 00:33:59,890 Speaker 2: called this message cooked because you're cooked. I did not. 548 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: I called this message cooked because he cooked after I 549 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:17,380 Speaker 2: was cooked. Jesus said to them, verse 10, I'm almost done. 550 00:34:17,739 --> 00:34:20,140 Speaker 2: I'm almost finished, but I need us to get a 551 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,940 Speaker 2: little happier about the fact that he cooked. 552 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,370 Speaker 1: I don't think you understand this. Okay, so say it 553 00:34:26,390 --> 00:34:26,650 Speaker 1: like this. 554 00:34:26,690 --> 00:34:27,140 Speaker 2: You'll get it. 555 00:34:29,050 --> 00:34:30,630 Speaker 1: Even when I'm cooked, he's cooking. 556 00:34:32,030 --> 00:34:35,410 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like that, like that, like that. 557 00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:38,610 Speaker 2: Even when I'm standing in a red sea nowhere to go, 558 00:34:39,290 --> 00:34:42,859 Speaker 2: he's cooking. That water is what he wants to cook in. 559 00:34:43,180 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: He's going to boil. 560 00:34:44,060 --> 00:34:47,070 Speaker 2: My enemies in that water, because even when I'm cooked, 561 00:34:47,090 --> 00:34:51,130 Speaker 2: he's cooking. He's cooking. He's cooking. He's cooking. He's cooking. 562 00:34:51,170 --> 00:34:52,910 Speaker 1: Reach around and tell seven people he's cooking. 563 00:34:53,230 --> 00:34:53,750 Speaker 2: He's cooking. 564 00:34:54,110 --> 00:34:54,350 Speaker 1: Come on. 565 00:34:54,390 --> 00:34:55,870 Speaker 2: I didn't make you tell 21. 566 00:34:55,870 --> 00:34:56,330 Speaker 1: Just seven. 567 00:34:56,590 --> 00:34:58,350 Speaker 2: He's cooking. He's cooking. He's cooking. 568 00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:59,930 Speaker 1: He's cooking. Don't quit. He's cooking. 569 00:35:00,150 --> 00:35:00,609 Speaker 2: Don't give up. 570 00:35:00,630 --> 00:35:01,130 Speaker 1: He's cooking. 571 00:35:01,350 --> 00:35:03,210 Speaker 5: You have to let him cook. You have to stay 572 00:35:03,270 --> 00:35:05,110 Speaker 5: out of the kitchen. You have to let the chef 573 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,299 Speaker 5: do what the chef does. You have to let him 574 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,340 Speaker 5: get all the Simon out so that Peter can preach 575 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,459 Speaker 5: because he's cooking. I'm not praising because I cooked. I'm 576 00:35:14,620 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 5: praising because he cooked. 577 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,570 Speaker 2: He kept … He led. He made a way. He 578 00:35:21,610 --> 00:35:25,410 Speaker 2: did it. And no weapon that is formed against my 579 00:35:25,570 --> 00:35:33,180 Speaker 2: family will prosper. Because my God, he caught. He caught. 580 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:34,780 Speaker 1: He caught. 581 00:35:35,570 --> 00:35:39,230 Speaker 2: You wonder why we're praising? Because he cooked. He cooked 582 00:35:39,290 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 2: when we couldn't. He cooked when we were out. He 583 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,819 Speaker 2: cooked when the bills were due. He cooked when the 584 00:35:44,860 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 2: doctors said no way. He cooked when I was lonely. 585 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:59,810 Speaker 2: He cooked when my friends walked away. He cooked. He cooked. 586 00:35:59,890 --> 00:36:03,610 Speaker 2: He cooked. He cooked. He cooked. He cooked when they 587 00:36:03,630 --> 00:36:06,529 Speaker 2: couldn't catch. He cooked when they did catch. He cooked. 588 00:36:06,830 --> 00:36:08,150 Speaker 2: He's giving them a lot of credit. 589 00:36:08,350 --> 00:36:09,410 Speaker 1: Look at verse 10. 590 00:36:09,410 --> 00:36:11,330 Speaker 2: He said, Hey, boys. Hey, boys. 591 00:36:11,590 --> 00:36:13,310 Speaker 1: Jesus is so nice. Jesus is so kind. 592 00:36:13,550 --> 00:36:17,150 Speaker 2: He said, Bring some of the fish you have just caught. 593 00:36:17,170 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 2: The ones you … Yeah. You caught them. You did 594 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:31,230 Speaker 2: that so good, baby. That drawing is amazing. I'm hanging 595 00:36:31,290 --> 00:36:34,340 Speaker 2: on the refrigerator. Bring me some of your fish. I 596 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 2: love your fish, baby. It's never been about what you 597 00:36:40,780 --> 00:36:46,810 Speaker 2: can bring to him. Telling me, I'm cooked. 598 00:36:47,790 --> 00:36:48,310 Speaker 1: I'm cooked. 599 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,739 Speaker 2: You were cooked when you got here. In sin did 600 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 2: my mother conceive me. All have sinned and fallen short 601 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 2: of the glory of God. I'm cooked. 602 00:36:56,460 --> 00:36:57,299 Speaker 1: What else is new? 603 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,899 Speaker 2: He's been cooking this whole time. Have you thought about 604 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,469 Speaker 2: the odds that your life would be where it is today? 605 00:37:03,890 --> 00:37:06,469 Speaker 2: Have you thought about that lately? Have you thought about 606 00:37:06,510 --> 00:37:09,350 Speaker 2: the fact that I'm up here preaching when you know 607 00:37:09,610 --> 00:37:12,450 Speaker 2: what our family went through on the other side? Have 608 00:37:12,469 --> 00:37:14,690 Speaker 2: you thought about the fact that God would let me 609 00:37:14,750 --> 00:37:17,020 Speaker 2: be a preacher? Have you thought about that? 610 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:24,029 Speaker 1: Because he could. Have you thought about the fact that 611 00:37:24,070 --> 00:37:25,250 Speaker 1: when I meet people who. 612 00:37:26,890 --> 00:37:29,049 Speaker 2: Have been touched by the ministry of this church, they 613 00:37:29,130 --> 00:37:36,410 Speaker 2: often say, it was in the year 2020 when I 614 00:37:36,450 --> 00:37:41,819 Speaker 2: found your church online. I didn't think we were going 615 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,940 Speaker 2: to make it, but you tell the people of Elevation 616 00:37:45,460 --> 00:37:50,540 Speaker 2: they got our family through. What's crazy about that is 617 00:37:50,580 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 2: when they said, you can't have physical church, legally mandated, 618 00:37:54,980 --> 00:37:57,700 Speaker 2: no people in the building. That's a bad church growth strategy. 619 00:37:59,950 --> 00:38:02,990 Speaker 2: Can we all agree? Can we take a church vote? 620 00:38:03,230 --> 00:38:05,510 Speaker 2: How many would say it's a bad strategy to not. 621 00:38:05,370 --> 00:38:07,629 Speaker 1: Be able to allow people to attend? Then how did 622 00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: we grow? Because he cooked. Go ahead. Bring all your 623 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: fish in. That's good, Peter. Yeah, bring me some of 624 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:23,419 Speaker 1: your fish. 625 00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:27,430 Speaker 2: But I read it over and over because I wanted 626 00:38:27,489 --> 00:38:30,190 Speaker 2: to show you this revelation. 627 00:38:29,930 --> 00:38:32,009 Speaker 1: So you can get all the stress out of your life. 628 00:38:32,469 --> 00:38:34,509 Speaker 2: So you can get all of the shame off of you, 629 00:38:34,830 --> 00:38:37,529 Speaker 2: so you can get all of the expectation for your 630 00:38:37,570 --> 00:38:40,670 Speaker 2: future on Jesus, so you can remember that he called 631 00:38:40,730 --> 00:38:43,650 Speaker 2: you friend, and he taught you to catch those fish, 632 00:38:44,010 --> 00:38:45,450 Speaker 2: and he told you where they were. 633 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:45,950 Speaker 4: Come on. 634 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,219 Speaker 2: He helped you find that person. He helped you find 635 00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 2: that opportunity. He helped you get through that transition. He 636 00:38:52,820 --> 00:38:55,020 Speaker 2: helped you with that. I'm not here. 637 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,220 Speaker 1: Because of what I caught. I'm here because he cooked. 638 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,730 Speaker 2: And even when I bring it to him, he doesn't 639 00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:07,710 Speaker 2: need it. Jesus said to them, verse 12, come and 640 00:39:07,790 --> 00:39:11,390 Speaker 2: have breakfast. None of the disciples dared ask him, who 641 00:39:11,450 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 2: are you? They knew it was the Lord. 642 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: Why? 643 00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 2: Because he's asking them to bring fish for a breakfast 644 00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:19,660 Speaker 2: that he's already cooked. He doesn't need it. He just 645 00:39:19,700 --> 00:39:22,700 Speaker 2: wants all you have. He calls all of you. That's 646 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,190 Speaker 2: all it's going to take, bro, is all of you. 647 00:39:25,469 --> 00:39:28,410 Speaker 1: That's all it's going to take, sis, is all of you. 648 00:39:28,750 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 2: You're not cooked. You just have to come. You have 649 00:39:31,460 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 2: to come completely. You have to bring all 153 fish. 650 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,060 Speaker 2: When you get there, you discover the real miracle of 651 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:44,550 Speaker 2: the text is verse 13. Not Peter caught, but Jesus came, 652 00:39:46,850 --> 00:39:49,830 Speaker 2: and he took the bread, and he gave it. 653 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: Grace. 654 00:39:56,260 --> 00:39:56,660 Speaker 6: It's grace. 655 00:39:59,090 --> 00:40:01,970 Speaker 2: Fishing all night, that's effort. 656 00:40:03,330 --> 00:40:03,790 Speaker 1: That's good. 657 00:40:05,390 --> 00:40:08,270 Speaker 2: But I see you straining, and I'm going to give 658 00:40:08,290 --> 00:40:12,590 Speaker 2: you grace, because I've already cooked what you're trying to catch. 659 00:40:13,300 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 6: You're already accepted. You're already approved. You're already loved. You're 660 00:40:16,980 --> 00:40:22,450 Speaker 6: already forgiven. You're already free. You see the difference? Even 661 00:40:22,489 --> 00:40:24,730 Speaker 6: when you're cooked, there's usually something that you can do. 662 00:40:25,730 --> 00:40:28,609 Speaker 6: But even when you can't, there's something he's already done. 663 00:40:29,989 --> 00:40:30,470 Speaker 1: He cooked. 664 00:40:33,410 --> 00:40:35,250 Speaker 2: He came and took the bread and gave it to them. 665 00:40:35,390 --> 00:40:40,340 Speaker 2: This reminds us of communion, doesn't it? Communion over coals. 666 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 2: Communion over coals. 667 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: Something about those coals. He did the same with the fish. 668 00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: Something about those fish. 669 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:59,940 Speaker 2: 5,000 men plus women plus children. Something about that bread. 670 00:41:00,180 --> 00:41:03,780 Speaker 2: This is my body broken for you. But there's something 671 00:41:03,820 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 2: about those coals. Where have we seen Peter standing over 672 00:41:08,739 --> 00:41:18,469 Speaker 2: coals before? Isn't it John 18? Standing in the courtyard 673 00:41:19,969 --> 00:41:24,270 Speaker 2: on the night that Jesus was sentenced. The servant girl 674 00:41:24,330 --> 00:41:28,260 Speaker 2: came out and asked him, you aren't one of this 675 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 2: man's disciples too, are you? 676 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:36,580 Speaker 1: He replied, I'm not. It was cold. The servants and 677 00:41:36,620 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. 678 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 2: Peter also was standing with them, warming himself over the coals. 679 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:52,350 Speaker 2: The word fire, anthrakia in Greek, it means coal fire. 680 00:41:53,510 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 2: It's only mentioned twice in John's gospel. The first time, 681 00:41:59,060 --> 00:42:04,580 Speaker 2: the fire represents Peter's failure. The next time he sees fire, 682 00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:06,130 Speaker 2: there's fish on it. 683 00:42:09,370 --> 00:42:10,250 Speaker 1: One is his failure. 684 00:42:11,890 --> 00:42:22,569 Speaker 2: One is his future. Peter's cooked. Jesus cooked to let 685 00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 2: Peter know. I'm not done with you yet. I am 686 00:42:32,380 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 2: not finished with you yet. You are more than a 687 00:42:36,540 --> 00:42:41,450 Speaker 2: failed fisherman. You are more than a dysfunctional disciple. You 688 00:42:41,510 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 2: are more than an alcoholic. Give me my camera. I'm 689 00:42:44,739 --> 00:42:48,299 Speaker 2: prophesying to somebody on this Pando app. You are more 690 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,899 Speaker 2: than a convict. You are more than an addict. You 691 00:42:51,980 --> 00:42:55,509 Speaker 2: are more than a mess-up. You are not cooked. You 692 00:42:55,570 --> 00:42:59,710 Speaker 2: are called. You are chosen. You are drawn. You are his. 693 00:43:00,030 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 2: You are his friend, and he has got you. So 694 00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:10,990 Speaker 2: God says, I want to change how you see this 695 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,469 Speaker 2: fire in your mind. I want to change how you 696 00:43:13,550 --> 00:43:15,870 Speaker 2: see what you've been going through. I want to change 697 00:43:15,910 --> 00:43:18,730 Speaker 2: how you see what you did that you can't undo. 698 00:43:18,750 --> 00:43:20,750 Speaker 2: I want you to change the way you've been saying it. 699 00:43:21,010 --> 00:43:25,129 Speaker 2: You've been saying, I'm cooked. I can't. I'm cooked. I can't. 700 00:43:25,450 --> 00:43:26,510 Speaker 2: I want you to start. 701 00:43:26,370 --> 00:43:34,620 Speaker 1: Seeing the fish that are already on the fire. It's 702 00:43:34,940 --> 00:43:35,860 Speaker 1: already there. 703 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,710 Speaker 2: You mean … We were straining all night with empty nets, 704 00:43:42,830 --> 00:43:45,700 Speaker 2: and you were already frying on the shore what we 705 00:43:45,739 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 2: were hungry for? 706 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 1: Let him cook. Let him have his way in your life. 707 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,700 Speaker 1: You say, well, how do. 708 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,180 Speaker 2: We know that Jesus gave them the fish he already had? 709 00:43:59,610 --> 00:44:01,990 Speaker 2: Because you can't clean. 710 00:44:01,730 --> 00:44:02,810 Speaker 1: Fish that quickly. 711 00:44:03,980 --> 00:44:07,950 Speaker 2: When Jesus feeds you, it's going to be a clean blessing. 712 00:44:08,510 --> 00:44:11,570 Speaker 2: It's going to be a prepared blessing. It's going to 713 00:44:11,610 --> 00:44:15,350 Speaker 2: be in his time, and he is going to use 714 00:44:15,489 --> 00:44:19,590 Speaker 2: the very thing you did so that when you stand 715 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,460 Speaker 2: up like Peter on the day of Pentecost and preach, 716 00:44:23,940 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 2: you're not up there because you can cook. You're up 717 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:32,620 Speaker 2: there because he can, and he did, and he will. 718 00:44:34,060 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 2: I don't know who God gave me this message for, 719 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:38,989 Speaker 2: but he's cooking. 720 00:44:39,620 --> 00:44:40,140 Speaker 1: He's cooking. 721 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 2: Right now he is mixing ingredients, some bitter, some sweet, 722 00:44:45,420 --> 00:44:50,260 Speaker 2: some tasty, some troubling, some that are desirable and some 723 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,650 Speaker 2: that seem dysfunctional. 724 00:44:51,950 --> 00:44:54,270 Speaker 3: But when he gets through with all of it, when 725 00:44:54,390 --> 00:45:00,730 Speaker 3: God does what God does, he says, I know your 726 00:45:00,810 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 3: heart is breaking and I. 727 00:45:02,410 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 2: Know your nets are breaking, but come have breakfast. It's 728 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,700 Speaker 2: not that I came to him. It's that he came 729 00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 2: to me, and he cooked. 730 00:45:12,540 --> 00:45:13,700 Speaker 1: So if you need. 731 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,439 Speaker 2: To come to him today, you can come. The work 732 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 2: has been done. The blood has been shed. The price 733 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,820 Speaker 2: has been paid. The forgiveness has been granted. The cross 734 00:45:22,900 --> 00:45:26,620 Speaker 2: is accomplished. The stone has been rolled. The tomb is empty, 735 00:45:27,060 --> 00:45:32,500 Speaker 2: and the Savior is here. Stand to your feet. All 736 00:45:32,580 --> 00:45:36,669 Speaker 2: over the auditorium, there are men and women who need to. 737 00:45:36,630 --> 00:45:47,290 Speaker 1: Respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ today. Here's the bread. 738 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:56,260 Speaker 1: Eat it. Here's the fish. You have a future. 739 00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:00,140 Speaker 2: God will not leave you paralyzed in your past. 740 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,410 Speaker 1: If you stay there, it will be your decision. 741 00:46:05,270 --> 00:46:07,830 Speaker 2: That you did not swim to the shore. He was 742 00:46:08,050 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 2: already there. It's already there. It's already there. It's not 743 00:46:14,260 --> 00:46:16,700 Speaker 2: something you have to conjure. It's not something you have 744 00:46:16,739 --> 00:46:17,280 Speaker 2: to catch. 745 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,880 Speaker 1: It's something he's already cooked. 746 00:46:20,940 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 2: You know for your situation in your life exactly what 747 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,300 Speaker 2: that is. 748 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:34,140 Speaker 1: I want us to do what Peter did. Move toward Jesus. 749 00:46:36,430 --> 00:46:39,980 Speaker 2: Whatever that means for you, if that means giving your 750 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,859 Speaker 2: life to him for the first time, I don't know 751 00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 2: your situation. 752 00:46:44,660 --> 00:46:46,660 Speaker 1: I don't know your failure.

I know a name that's greater than shame. 756 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,140 Speaker 2: I know a name that's greater than shackles. I know 757 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,350 Speaker 2: a name that's greater than bankruptcy. I know a name 758 00:47:05,370 --> 00:47:09,529 Speaker 2: that's greater than disease and depression.
