Grove Church Sermons

Peter and the disciples find themselves back to fishing, even after hearing of Christ's resurrection. Jesus finds them, and Peter in particular, to re-call them into following him. Again around a charcoal fire after denying Jesus three times, Jesus shows his forgiveness, reinstating Peter and calling him to feed and tend to Jesus' sheep. The exchange shows how Peter's (and our) confidence isn't enough, but Jesus is. He invites us because he is good, not because we are.

This is the first sermon in a series on Digital Discipleship, where our church family is going through Darren Whitehead's workbook, The Digital Fast. What has the digital revolution cost us? Our time, our attention, and our relationships. The systems of the world look to distract us and turn our focus to ourselves, whereas God's story calls us to look outward, to God and neighbor. God has made us to create and connect in real ways, not just fall prey to the pull to only consume.Date: 3/1/26Preaching: Jared ZandstraGrove Church is a non-denominational Christian church in Lowell, Indiana.
