Jesus Restores


Listen Later

 Sermon on 4/19/26 by Pastor Todd Sapp 

Have you ever felt like your life was a game of Jenga, watching as the pieces are pulled out until everything comes tumbling down?

In this message, we explore the powerful story of Jesus restoring Peter in John 21. After Peter’s spectacular public failure—denying Jesus three times—he felt he had lost everything. But Jesus didn't see a finished story; He saw a foundation that needed to be rebuilt on love and grace rather than pride and performance.

In this video, you will learn:

  • The Jenga Principle: Why being broken down to your foundation is often the first step toward a stronger life.
  • A Personal Process: Why Jesus calls us back to "the beginning" to remind us that our faith is about relationship, not just doctrine.
  • Total Forgiveness: How Jesus uses our greatest failures to empower us for our greatest missions.
  • The Comparison Trap: Why Jesus told Peter "What is that to you?" and how we can stop comparing our spiritual journey to others.

No matter how far you’ve fallen or how "spectacular" your failure has been, Jesus is in the business of restoration. He isn't done with you yet.

The restoration of Peter, John 21 sermon, how to rebuild your life with God, overcoming failure in faith, Jesus and Peter on the beach, do you love me more than these meaning, biblical restoration, Christian encouragement, healing from backsliding.
