A Reunion Sunday sermon that remembers the congregation's youth mentors and calls worshipers to live with urgency and purpose: recognize life's limits, resist guilty regret, and commit to being about the Father’s business through listening, prayer, service, justice, and faithful stewardship.
“John 21:15-17 scene — Jesus asks Simon Peter three times 'Lovest thou me?' and tells him 'Feed my lambs/sheep.'”
Pastor Reginald W. Sharpe Jr. preaches from John 21 urging listeners to "let him cook" — to let Jesus work in His timing and way. Using the breakfast-on-the-beach scene and pastoral stories, he outlines several "collisions" believers face (familiar vs. calling, fear vs. God's faithfulness, attachments vs. assignments, guilt vs. grace) and calls for trust, obedience, restoration, and response.
“Jesus didn't say 'I told you' when Peter returned; Jesus said, 'Feed my sheep.'”
Pastor Shane teaches that seasons of shaking or 'sifting' are not proof of failure but are God’s process to remove what cannot go with you (the chaff) and reveal and strengthen what can (the wheat). Using Peter's denial and a contemporary testimony, he emphasizes that Jesus prays for our faith to survive the sifting, and gives practical steps—recognize lies, replace them with truth, engage community, pray and take thoughts captive. The sermon invites listeners to return to God, receive prayer, join community, and continue in faithful living (including generosity and evangelism).
“Jesus asked Peter, 'Do you love me?' and gave him the charge, 'Feed my sheep.'”
Pastor Allen Jackson encourages volunteers to embrace service as the defining lifestyle of a Christ-follower, not merely occasional projects, grounding the call in Romans 12:1 and John 21. He prays for persecuted churches worldwide, explains the meaning of anointing with oil, and commissions volunteers for the upcoming Easter festival.
