Love is self sacrificingLove is giving of oneself

Love calls everybody friendsIncluding those who have hurt you and betrayed you

Love is not an emotionLove is an action

Love is not inward focusLove is outward focus

Love is best expressed and cultivated in times

29 But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may fall away, yet I will

not.” 30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, that this very night,

before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.” 31 But Peter kept saying insistently, “Even if I have to die with You, I will

not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing also.

MARK 14:29-31 (NASB)

66 As Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls

of the high priest came, 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what

you are talking about.” And he went out onto the porch.

MARK 14:66-68 (NASB)

So this story is not a story of Peter

THIS IS OUR STORYWe are here in this story

3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him,

“We will also come with you.”JOHN 21:3 (NASB)

6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you

will find a catch.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in

because of the great number of fish. 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said to Peter, “It is the

Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer

garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.

JOHN 21:6-7 (NASB)

JESUSwill always go out of his

way to meet you, to change your

disappointment to gladness, to change your

sin to capacity to love God

Don’t ever think that coming to church is about you being entertained.Coming to church is understanding the love of God. It is also about growing in the love of God.

12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” N

one of the disciples ventured to question Him, “Who are You?”

knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish

likewise. 14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the

disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

JOHN 21:12-14 (NASB)

LOVEIS FOR ALL

SEASONS

Love is notmeant to be kept.

15 So when 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, “Tend

My lambs.”JOHN 21:15 (NASB)

16 He said to him again 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, “Shepherd My sheep.”

JOHN 21:16 (NASB)

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 all

things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend My

sheep.JOHN 21:17 (NASB)
