We’re excited to have Pastor Kaj Ballantyne from Harvest Church Huntsville to open up God’s Word for us. Kaj has a powerful message to share with us from John 21 as we consider the work Jesus has done and is doing for us. Here’s what he has to say about it:

Peter had failed. Not a small failure, but a life-altering choice that would have crushed his heart. And from that point on, each morning for the rest of his life, Peter would wake from his sleep to the sound of a rooster crowing -- a reminder of that failure. And yet when we see Peter in the book of Acts, or read his letters of I & II Peter, we see a Peter who knew he was loved and no longer derailed by the failure, but instead would give his life to the mission of the gospel. How did Peter come to believe this grace-filled truth that his failure wasn’t final? Jesus did a deep work that completely transformed Peter's life. When we find ourselves neck-deep in the mire of our sinful choices, is there any hope? What do we do? More importantly, what does Jesus do?
