We begin a new sermon series through the gospel of John entitled: "Streams in the Desert: Finding the Fullness of God in Empty Places." The claim of the semester is that in the midst of the wilderness and empty places of our lives, God shows up and brings his fullness. So every week we will look at an empty place and see how the fullness of Jesus brings new life into what was once unfruitful and barren.

Peter failed Jesus. Denied him 3 times. And if we're honest, we all fail Jesus. None of us live the way in which we want. But the good news of the gospel is that Jesus loves to restore failures. We discuss where Jesus restores us, how he does it, and why he does it (HINT: for love...)
