The Mind of a Disciple

• 30:01John 21:18

  But I would argue that Mark is penned by Mark, written by Peter, and what God has done in his life. But there is one more aspect I want you to hear about Peter's life. Jesus says this in the very end of the book of John. This is the Messiah's final word to Peter. He says, "Peter, truly I tell you, John 21:18, when you were younger, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted to go.

The JESUS Story

• 11:06John 21

  And think about what John himself wrote in John 21, 25. He said, there are so many other things that Jesus did. He said, if I tried to write them down, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books that would be written. So where do I fall on this? That's probably what you're asking. I believe that John 8 is a historical, authentic episode in the life of Christ. And I believe that it is best situated in this passage.

Reset

• 1:49John 21

  And we're going to look at John 21 today. You know, it's quite interesting. If you're like me, 2020 is a year that you'll never forget. Someone asked me today, they said, "Well, how long have you been married?" I said, "Okay, well, Hurricane Katrina was in 2005, and I was married after Hurricane Katrina, so 2006 minus 21 is 15 years." And you said, "Why do you mark that?" Because I lived in New Orleans during that moment.

• 4:03John 21

  And we're going to look at a man today in John 21 that was in need of a reset. A man named Simon that had one of the worst weeks of his life. A man who was living out the consequences of a devastating denial. That not only once but twice, not only twice but three times, he said, "I do not know Jesus." In the moment that Jesus needed his disciples the most, that's when Peter deserted him.
