After a night of empty nets, Jesus meets his disciples with a miracle, a meal, and a message of restoration. In John 21:1–14, we see how Christ meets us in our shame and calls us back to himself.

In this sermon, we’ll explore:

• Why Peter’s shame matters, and what his actions reveal about the weight of sin and guilt

• How Jesus shows himself through repeated acts of grace, not just appearances

• What it means to recognize Christ in seasons when we can’t hear his voice clearly

• The practices—Scripture, prayer, gathering with the church, and fasting—that draw us nearer to him

• The invitation to run toward Jesus with all our brokenness, trusting that he is ready to serve, restore, and call us forward
