Easter 2022 | We’re All in the Same Boat | Chase Gardner

Celebrate Easter with Hope! Listen in for a message of grace, love, and hope as we retell the Easter story through the eyes of Peter and Jesus’ other disciples.  Message Notes:Many times in life, we find ourselves in situations we don’t expect or don’t know how to escape, but that is when we have a lifeline to the One who can save us, Jesus. Like many of us, Peter found himself in a boat he didn’t want to be in, and he didn’t know what to do. Luke 5:1-11 (NLT) This was the beginning of Peter’s calling when he left the boat and his entire way of life to become a follower of Jesus.  Mark 14:27-31 (NLT) When Jesus told His disciples about how He would be deserted, Peter protested that he would never deny Jesus even to the point of death.  John 18:15-18, 25-27 (NLT) Peter denied knowing Jesus three times. Mark 14:71 (NLT) Peter swore and cursed that he didn’t know Jesus.  Luke 22:61-62 (NLT) Jesus looked at Peter, and Peter remembered what Jesus had said about denying Him. Peter was ashamed and wept bitterly.  John 21:3 (NLT) Peter left to escape to his old life. John 21:3-13 (NLT) Jesus replicated the very first meeting with His followers.  John 21:15-17, 19b (NLT) Jesus redeemed Peter by replacing his shame of denying Jesus three times with a new question asked three times. Instead of the memory of his failure, he gained forgiveness and a renewed mission. When we need to get out of the boat we are in, Jesus is the hand offering rescue. Because of Easter…            New life is possible.             Change is possible.             Your marriage can be restored.             You can have victory over your addiction.             You can live a life of joy and hope and purpose. Because of the resurrection of Jesus, you can have a…            Fresh Start            New Beginning            Clean Slate            You can say goodnight to your shame & good morning to joy. Easter teaches us the truth that Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good but to make dead people live.---If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: https://gethope.net/nextsteps/If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond here: https://bit.ly/3aWvIZNTo support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: https://gethope.net/give/Stay Connected with Hope:Website: https://gethope.net/Hope Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurchHope Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/Hope Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hopeHope YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurch
