11. (Outline) After these things Jesus shows himself again
Ministry
Death, resurrection
Jesus shows himself again
He is testing your love
He is merciful and forgiving
Peter’s mountain top experience
With Jesus when he performed miracles
Peter’s valley experience
Jesus had died and left them in despair
Peter even denied and rejected Jesus
They went to the tomb and found it empty
They went back to their homes & jobs – old ways
Put some fire back
He shows up and gives them another chance

12. Scripture
After these things – after Jesus’ ministry
Jesus shows himself again – another chance
Remember it is Andrew who invited Simon to Jesus (John 1:41)
Do you invite others to Christ, do you share about Christ
John the Baptist gave up his disciples to Jesus
He is Jesus when you are on the mountain top and when you are in the valley
Mountain experience - Simon Peter was with Jesus when he did miracles, turned water into wine, raised Jairus’ daughter, fed 5K, transfiguration – Moses, Elijah and Jesus

13. Valley experience - Simon Peter was with Jesus when he said one of you will betray me, when soldiers wanted to arrest Jesus, Peter cut off the ear of one of them, now when Jesus was on trial, in the courtyard Peter denied Jesus
Now after Jesus was crucified it appeared everything was finished, Peter & John had gone to the grave and did not see his body, so Peter says, “I am going fishing” & everyone follows
Down, defeated and dejected, did not catch any fish all night, feeling a complete failure, given up all hope, – that’s when Jesus shows up and even makes breakfast for his disciples
Simon, do you love me more than these, he expects us to love him more than anyone else
Do you still have the fire of love for him?

14. Yes your love & commitment to him will be tested
Is the fire of your love for him still burning?
He is a forgiving God, he gives many chances
His love for you is everlasting, he tells them to cast the nets on the right side to catch fish, they do
He cares, prepares breakfast for them
He speaks to them with a gentle and caring voice
He does not accuse nor condemn them for deserting him and for failure
He forgives, affirms and reassures Peter and gives him another chance
Is your love for him and the fire still burning for him?
Ask him to ignite your passion for him again today

15. Altar Call Passion for his Purpose
Ask, Jesus, to re-ignite your love for him today.
