Do You Love Me? April Series
Table-Talk — "Do You Love Me?"
Part 2: "The Other Side"— Cast your nets on the right side of the boat!
Same morning. Same beach. Same fire. After the net filled, Jesus didn't skip past Peter's failure — He went back to it. On purpose. He built a charcoal fire on the shore, the same kind of fire Peter stood at when he denied Him three times, and He asked one question: "Simon, son of Jonah — do you love Me?"
Three times. Same number as the denials. Not asking about performance. Not asking for promises. Just: do you love Me? And when Peter said yes, Jesus gave him his purpose back — and then told him the very thing he had spent his whole life running from was coming for him anyway. Not as punishment. As "doxazo" — to make the glory of God visible.
Everything Peter feared became everything that made his life count.
This week's Table-Talk takes Sunday's message from John 21 and Matthew 16 deep into honest conversation. What is your "Far be it from You, Lord" thing? What do you need to stop gripping so your hands can be open? What if the thing you fear most is the exact location of your purpose?
Available in English and Spanish, with a full Leader Guide including coaching notes, key Greek word definitions (anthrakia, ekteneis tas cheiras sou, doxazo), a pastoral watch-out for the questions that go deep, and a mid-week follow-up text.
