Introduction
We need hope!
Hope fuels our passion to fulfill God’s plan for our lives.
Throughout Scripture we see examples of the power of hope—but also the challenges when hope fades.
One of the people of the Bible that illustrates both is Peter.
Peter was a fisherman by trade.
When he first met Jesus, he felt unworthy—he saw Jesus’ righteousness and his own sinfulness.
But Jesus said to Peter, “Follow Me.”
Peter wasn’t afraid to try something new: like answer the invitation of Jesus to walk on the water with him.
Peter was the first to recognize Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of the God.
Peter promised Jesus he would always be with him.
But, when Jesus was arrested, Peter lost hope and denied even know him.
Failure!
When the going gets tough, even the strong can buckle under pressure.
Even in the face of the greatest miracle, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, Peter felt disconnected.
When the going gets tough, it is tempting to draw comfort from the past.
Peter was a fisherman before he met Jesus, so it stands to reason the Peter will be a fisherman after Jesus.
But, Jesus did not abandon Peter!
Peter longed for Jesus more than longing for the old life.
One on one time with Jesus.
This is the story of Jesus restoring Peter to relationship and ministry.
When the Lord offers an opportunity to change futility into fruitfulness, be open to change.
When He plans to move you in a new and challenging direction, expect a period of deep soul-searching.
When He makes it clear that you are to follow Him in this new direction, focus fully on Him and refuse to be distracted by comparisons with others.
Restoration of relationship with Christ brings restoration of hope.
