After the Fire

Passage: John 21:1-19 NRSVUE
Service Type:

Peter failed. Publicly. Painfully. And then, after the resurrection, Jesus meets him again—not with judgment, but with breakfast by the fire. This sermon picks up the story in the raw aftermath—when shame still lingers and calling feels out of reach. Jesus doesn’t just forgive Peter; Jesus restores him and calls him to lead again. What if grace isn’t just the end of failure—but the beginning of something new? Hear what happens after the fire.
