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.

"But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray"

FREED | Rejection - Sam Gibson

Pastor Sam Gibson teaches from Romans 8 that rejection is inevitable for Christians, but God uses it to form us. The solution to being shaped by rejection or enslaved by the need for human recognition is the Spirit of adoption—receiving identity, status, and inheritance in Christ so we can respond to rejection from the place of being beloved. He contrasts the imposter/orphan self (performance, people-pleasing, needing recognition) with the beloved/adopted self (secure, free to risk, rooted in the Father's love) and issues practical invitations to receive healing and be reborn into that reality.

The Bible says he often withdrew to lonely places.
