“Victory over Failure”
John 21:15-25 - Pew Bible #693
Pastor Mike Roberson

Introduction: Jesus will not leave you, nor forsake you. Even if you
leave him. John 10:28-29 He knew Peter would

him in
sinful denial. Luke 22:31-34 Sinful failure is not a question of if, just a
question of

and

. Because Peter denied him
publicly, Jesus would need to

him publicly. Fishing
for fish is good, but if your

is fishing for souls, it is
empty. You will never find the

you desire
doing anything but what the Lord has called you to do. Only when the
presence of the Lord

with your purpose will you
have provision for every need.

I. God plays on the word ‘Love’ to

Peter’s heart. v. 15-17
a. Jesus asks

because of the 3 denials.
b. Only God’s love can

hearts and forgive sins.
John 3:16; Proverbs 10:12
c. God’s love will make your

clear, even after
sinful failure.
i.

the little ones of God’s flock. I Peter 2:1-3
ii.

my sheep. I Peter 5:1-4
iii.

my grown sheep. John 10:1-18

II. Love of God must be

over all other
loves. v. 18-25, Mark 12:29-31
a. More than these? v. 15
i. Fishing =

.
ii. Sea of Galilee =

Reveal Answer

.
iii. Other disciples =

.
b. More than

or even life itself? v. 18-19
c. More than the

of other believers? v. 20-25

Conclusion: Sinful failure is never

because of
forgiveness. However,

are not erased.
