Message by Lisa Goetze – May 4, 2025

“There are four sentences that lead to wisdom … “I don’t know. I need help, I’m sorry. I was wrong.” Character of Armand Gamache, Louise Penny, Still Life (St. Martin’s Paperbacks)

Scriptures used (click for link to passage):

John 21:1-14

John 21:15-19

Luke 5:1-11

Luke 22:32 (NLT)  Jesus: “I have pleaded in prayer for you.”

 

“Peter’s faith in Jesus – the faith that caused him to leave his fishing boat, that propelled him out onto the water to go to Jesus, that caused him to be the first to confess Jesus as Messiah – that faith seemed to fail him at the crucial moment. But that was not the last word. Just as Jesus knew Peter would betray him, so Jesus was interceding for him. So it is with you and me. Perhaps you think you are a person of little faith, but do you realize that Christ the Lord is interceding for you that your faith may not fail?” Fleming Rutledge, from “Even Peter, Even Us” (InterVarsity Press)
