Peter

Series: Encountering Easter

Geoffrey TurnerMarch 29, 2026Weekend Services

Passage: John 21:4-19

Peter's story reminds us that failure is something we all face, but it doesn't have to define us. Peter loved Jesus deeply, yet in a moment of fear, he denied even knowing Him. Still, Jesus didn’t walk away from Peter. Instead, He pursued him, restored him, and called him back into purpose. The same is true for us. We may fail, feel shame, or want to hide but Jesus meets us with grace. Failure isn’t the end of the story. Through Jesus, we are forgiven, restored, and invited to step back into the life He has for us.
