After You Hit Rock Bottom
Pastor Luke Simmons explores the restoration of Peter in John 21. What do you do when you’ve messed it all up? Where do you turn when your sin is exposed? After you’ve bottomed out, where is there hope? John 21:1-19 provides a case study. It’s less of a formula for how to get out of failure, and more of a window into the heart of Jesus.
-Jesus knows the real Peter (and us)
-Jesus keeps caring and providing
-Jesus arranges a full restoration
-Jesus gives a (scary) promise
No matter how far gone from God you feel, he’s not finished with you if you will receive the grace he offers.
Pastor Luke Simmons looks at the “doubting Thomas” passage as a case study in how to deal with our doubts. He answers questions like:
- What does Jesus think of our doubts?
- How does he treat doubters?
- What should guide our process of finding answers?
- Where do we turn for answers?
If you’ve ever been in a season of doubt or deconstruction, this is a sermon for you.
8 Considerations for Dealing with Doubt: - Doubts don’t define you (v. 24)
- Doubts often emerge where things don’t make sense (v. 25)
- Doubts aren’t always resolved quickly — by God’s design (v. 26)
- Doubts aren’t despised by Jesus, so we must take them to Jesus (v. 27)
- Doubts invite faith in addition to reason (v. 27)
- Doubts often lead to strengthened faith (v. 28)
- Doubts necessitate trusting the eyewitnesses (v. 29-31)
- Doubts must ultimately rest on the right question
How the resurrection of Jesus gives us security, erases our shame, and sends us on a mission in the power of the Spirit.
