You're Invited to the Cookout

In this powerful exploration of John 21:1-14, we're invited to a spiritual 'cookout' with Jesus on the beach. This familiar story of the disciples' miraculous catch of fish after a night of failure carries profound lessons for our own faith journeys. We're reminded that without Jesus, we can do nothing - a humbling yet liberating truth. Just as the disciples found abundance by following Jesus' simple instruction, we too can experience God's provision when we surrender our own efforts and trust in His guidance. The image of Jesus preparing breakfast for His disciples is a beautiful metaphor for how He cares for us, even in our moments of doubt and failure. This message challenges us to recognize where we might be trying to succeed on our own strength and invites us to instead cast our nets where Jesus directs, trusting in His abundant provision and care.
