There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word.

Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message

given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church

or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today.

So with that in mind, I want you to open the Word of God with me, please, to the Gospel according to John, the John chapter number 21.

And I bring you to a very interesting portion of scripture.

I'm coming back to it tonight in our revival meeting and a different emphasis, but same

portion of scripture.

It's a scripture that is well known.

It's well known.

Matter of fact, when we get to it, you're going to say, oh, preacher, we know this one.

I mean, I remind you that sometimes it's the ones we know that we don't know. Matter of fact, when we get to it, you're going to say, oh, preacher, we know this one. I mean, I remind you that sometimes it's the ones we know that we don't know.

And I mean by that, sometimes those portions of Scripture that we are so very familiar with,

we become so over familiar with the text itself that we miss God's message to us in that passage of

Scripture. And the one thing that I'd recommend to you is that when you come to a portion

like this, it's very familiar, is that you slow down, pray your way through it, meditate

on the scriptures. What you'll find, look, there's nothing new there. How many of you know

God's not writing any more scripture? Listen to me, though there's nothing new there, there's

always something fresh there. And so I bring you to this powerful passage of scripture in John 21,

where the Lord Jesus is having a conversation with Peter.

Notice what the Bible says in verse number 15.
