Do you recall the last time you rode the bench during a big game, thee game? We have all been there. We know life isn't a game, yet there are times we ride the bench when it comes to actively engaging our life-calling. Engaging our God given abilities and talents..
This happens for various reasons, including but not limited to being our own worst enemy at times, even preferring flight over fight. Packing in our calling when we mis-step and returning to a more familiar or former way of life.
In this preaching segment, Andrew shares practical teaching points from Jesus 'fireside' chat with Simon Peter, including how He calls us out to us who have mis-stepped, preferred to ride the bench, or have even gone back to a former way of life.
In John 21, the 'fireside' chat, Jesus calls out to us even today. His questions and statements minister to our hearts, leading us out of our mis-steps, off of the sidelines and into our calling. Life is but a vapor, we are here one day and gone the next. No better time to engage the present and looking beyond past experiences and occurrences. Jesus wants to include you and not exclude you. Get in the game.
