We made it. Nineteen weeks in the Gospel of John, and the finale is John's closing word to us all: don't look back in shame, don't look sideways in comparison. Eyes forward into eternity.
Around a charcoal fire on the beach — the same smell as the night Peter denied him — Jesus asks Peter three times, "Do you love me?" One question for every denial. And he deals with shame the way only Jesus can: not with shame back, but with love. "Then feed my sheep."

Then Peter looks at John and asks, "What about him?" And Jesus' answer cuts through every comparison I've ever made: "You. You follow me."

John ends by lifting our eyes to the vastness of Christ — a story with no end. Further up and further in. And we land right where we began this series: believing is seeing, and believing is life.
Jonah is next. Can't wait.

It’s our final week in the Gospel of John. We are taking on small stuff this week like shame and comparison and eternity. No big deal.

We gather at 5:30 for dinner followed by worship through song, Scripture, communion, and prayer at 6:30.

Passage: John 21:15–25

Title: Eyes Ahead (Follow Me)

Big Idea: Don't look back in shame, don't look sideways in comparison—keep your eyes of faith fixed on Christ as you follow Him.

The song list for tonight will be in the comments.

Penultimate message in John — chapter 21, "Breakfast on the Beach." (I just like saying penultimate.)

The guys fish all night and catch nothing. Jesus stands on the shore and asks the hilariously annoying question: "Friends, haven't you any fish?" Then they throw the net on the right side — four feet — and it's overflowing.

This is John 15 in a fishing boat: apart from me, you can do nothing.

My challenge for us this week: tomorrow morning, wherever you are — laptop, kitchen, commute — take a breath and pray, "Lord, I am available to you right here." Because when we practice the presence of Christ, there are no ordinary moments. Breakfast becomes holy.
