Life After Rock Bottom | John 21:1-19

About this episode

This episode explores the theme of life after hitting rock bottom, focusing on Jesus' grace and the opportunity for redemption.

In the "Life After" sermon series, we're going to journey through what the resurrection actually looks like when it meets us where we are. It's not about quick healing or tidy restorations, it's about what happens in the long middle. It's about the slow, confusing way new life has a way of finding us, even after we've stop looking for it. Today we focus on life after hitting rock bottom. We see how Jesus' does want our failures to be the end of our story. We see how He offered Peter the chance to make up for his mistakes, and that in His grace we are offered forgiveness and salvation. We may stumble and fall, falling below what we believed to be our rock bottom, but it is possible to climb back up.
