Pastor Steve Smith kicks off a new series called "Encounters" by diving into one of the most personal and powerful stories in all of Scripture — the restoration of Peter in John 21. Peter, who had a front-row seat to the miracles of Jesus, who walked on water, and who declared in John 6:68, "Lord, to whom should we go? For you have the words of eternal life," still fell into denial, driven by pride, fear of man, doubt, and insecurity. Pastor Steve reminds us that in some way or another, we've all been there — because every time we sin, we are, in a sense, choosing our own understanding over the Word of God. But the heart of the message isn't Peter's failure — it's Jesus' relentless pursuit of restoration. Just as Psalms 23:6 tells us that God's goodness and mercy are pursuing us all the days of our lives, Jesus went out of His way to meet Peter on the beach, cook him breakfast over a charcoal fire, and gently ask him three times, "Do you love me?" Pastor Steve points out the remarkable detail that the charcoal fire in John 21 mirrors the charcoal fire in John 18 — the very place where Peter denied Christ. Jesus wasn't just feeding Peter a meal; He was replacing a painful memory with one of healing and restoration, because as Romans 2:4 tells us, it is His kindness that leads us to repentance. Through this encounter, Jesus reminded Peter of his calling, reaffirmed his commitment, and restored him with purpose — sending him out to feed His sheep. Pastor Steve challenges each of us to do the same: to open the door when Jesus knocks (Rev. 3:20), to repent and turn back to Him, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and to pursue the calling God has placed on our lives right where we are. Whether you're a student, a worker, or someone who has simply drifted away, Jesus is standing at the shore today, calling you back home.

Pastor Johnathan opens his message on Psalm 46 by reminding the congregation that every person in the room is a leader — leading families, coworkers, and communities — and that great leadership begins with submission under God. Drawing from the Psalms, he highlights that even the greatest leaders in Scripture, from David to Moses to the sons of Korah, poured themselves out honestly before the Lord. He emphasizes that true leadership is built on relationship — first with the Father, and then with the people we serve — and that without Christ, there is no true freedom or lasting strength. The heart of the sermon centers on the concept of resilience. Using the vivid image of weeds slowly cracking through a solid asphalt surface, Pastor Johnathan illustrates how unchecked sin — anger, unforgiveness, jealousy, and pride — will find the cracks in our souls and widen them over time. He draws on Jeremiah 17:7-8, which compares those who trust in the Lord to trees planted by a riverbank with roots that reach deep into the water, never withered by drought or heat. He challenges the congregation to ask not just what their resilience is planted in, but who — pointing them back to Jesus, the living water, as the only true source of strength. Pastor Johnathan closes by calling the church to seal up those cracks through forgiveness, community, and a renewed commitment to being planted where God is. He reminds the congregation that every person is currently walking through a trial, a test, or an open door, and that the way forward is always the same — return to the One who is our refuge and strength. Rooted in Him, the problems we face will never seem bigger than the God we serve.
