About this episode

The episode explores the miraculous event in John 21 where Jesus helps the disciples catch an abundance of fish after a night of failure.

There’s a miraculous difference once Jesus shows up. Today, we’re looking at the first section of John 21 to see the story where the disciples spent all night fishing but didn’t catch anything. But when Jesus shows up and tells them to cast their net on the other side of the boat, they caught so many they couldn’t even lift the net. So in this Bible study, we’ll see what exactly happens here, what we can learn from this story, and at the end, I’ll give you 5 practical takeaways from this passage.
