The Power of Personal Touch
John 21:1-14
When Adam and Eve sinned, God is the one approached them.
Jesus stayed in Zaccheus house
God sent Jesus to earth
John 21 - Peter was in his low point.
Why people leave the church ? V1-2
Peter - discouragement , not sure whether Jesus is true. Some valid some invalid church.
They are not rooted in the WOG.
They don't buy into the vision.
Relationship problem
Difference preferences
Major transition
What are the symptoms of people leaving the church v3
They will isolate themselves
They will start will be critical
They will not be interested in spiritual things
Restoration Process v4-14
Luke 5
Almost the same event in John 21
The Seeking Process
Jesus never give up on Peter
The sheep know they were lost, but don't know how to come back.
We need to reach out to the lost.
Jesus - never condemned Peter. He prepared breakfast for Peter and friends instead.
Love
Forgiveness
Acceptance
Acts 20:20
Paul preached publicly and from home to home.
