Summary
In John 21:1–19, JP reminds us that Jesus doesn’t give up on us—even when we fail. We've been recruited like Peter, not because we're perfect, but because God's grace is bigger than our mistakes. Through Jesus, we're restored to relationship and redeemed for a purpose far greater than our past.
We’ve been recruited despite our failures
We’ve been restored to grace and fellowship
We’ve been redeemed for a new future and purpose
Life Group Discussion:

How has your past prepared you for the purpose God has for you?
