John 20:30-21:25
The Purpose of This Gospel 30.) Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book. 31.) But these are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and by believing you may have life in His name. Jesus’ Third Appearance to the Disciples Chapter 21 1.) After this, Jesus revealed Himself again to His disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed Himself in this way: 2.) Simon Peter, Thomas (called “Twin”), Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two others of His disciples were together. 3.) “I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them. “We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 4.) When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples did not know it was Jesus. 5.) “Men,” Jesus called to them, “you don’t have any fish, do you?” “No,” they answered. 6.) “Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish. 7.) Therefore the disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around him (for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea. 8.) But since they were not far from land (about 100 yards away), the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. 9.) When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread. 10.) “Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus told them. 11.) So Simon Peter got up and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish—153 of them. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn. 12.) “Come and have breakfast,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?” because they knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish. 14.) This was now the third time Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead. Jesus’ Threefold Restoration of Peter 15.) When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.” “Feed My lambs,” He told him. 16.) A second time He asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” “Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.” “Shepherd My sheep,” He told him. 17.) He asked him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved that He asked him the third time, “Do you love Me?” He said, “Lord, You know everything! You know that I love You.” “Feed My sheep,” Jesus said. 18.) “I assure you: When you were young, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don’t want to go.” 19.) He said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, He told him, “Follow Me!” Correcting a False Report 20.) So Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them. That disciple was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is the one that’s going to betray You?” 21.) When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord—what about him?” 22.) “If I want him to remain until I come,” Jesus answered, “what is that to you? As for you, follow Me.” 23.) So this report spread to the brothersm that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?” Epilogue 24.) This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. 25.) And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were written one by one, I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.

Psalm 18
Praise for Deliverance For the choir director. Of the servant of the Lord, David, who spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: 1.) I love You, Lord, my strength. 2.) The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3.) I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies. 4.) The ropes of death were wrapped around me; the torrents of destruction terrified me. 5.) The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. 6.) I called to the Lord in my distress, and I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry to Him reached His ears. 7.) Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the mountains trembled; they shook because He burned with anger. 8.) Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; coals were set ablaze by it. 9.) He parted the heavens and came down, a dark cloud beneath His feet. 10.) He rode on a cherub and flew, soaring on the wings of the wind. 11.) He made darkness His hiding place, dark storm clouds His canopy around Him. 12.) From the radiance of His presence, His clouds swept onward with hail and blazing coals. 13.) The Lord thundered from heaven; the Most High projected His voice. 14.) He shot His arrows and scattered them; He hurled lightning bolts and routed them. 15.) The depths of the sea became visible, the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, Lord, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. Sunday Sermon
Guest Speaker Austin on Missions
Psalm 17
A Prayer for Protection A Davidic prayer. 1.) Lord, hear a just cause; pay attention to my cry; listen to my prayer-- from lips free of deceit. 2.) Let my vindication come from You, for You see what is right. 3.) You have tested my heart; You have examined me at night. You have tried me and found nothing evil; I have determined that my mouth will not sin. 4.) Concerning what people do: by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent. 5.) My steps are on Your paths; my feet have not slipped. 6.) I call on You, God, because You will answer me; listen closely to me; hear what I say. 7.) Display the wonders of Your faithful love, Savior of all who seek refuge from those who rebel against Your right hand. 8.) Protect me as the pupil of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings 9.) from the wicked who treat me violently, my deadly enemies who surround me. 10.) They have become hardened; their mouths speak arrogantly. 11.) They advance against me; now they surround me. They are determined to throw me to the ground. 12.) They are like a lion eager to tear, like a young lion lurking in ambush. 13.) Rise up, Lord! Confront him; bring him down. With Your sword, save me from the wicked. 14.) With Your hand, Lord, save me from men, from men of the world whose portion is in this life: You fill their bellies with what You have in store; their sons are satisfied, and they leave their surplus to their children. 15.) But I will see Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied with Your presence. (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
Psalm 16 1) Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You. 2) I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides You. 3) As for the holy people who are in the land, they are the noble ones. All my delight is in them. 4) The sorrows of those who take another god for themselves will multiply; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, and I will not speak their names with my lips. 5) Lord, You are my portion and my cup of blessing; You hold my future. 6) The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7) I will praise the Lord who counsels me-- even at night my conscience instructs me. 8) I keep the Lord in mind always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9) Therefore my heart is glad and my spirit rejoices; my body also rests securely. 10) For You will not abandon me to Sheol; You will not allow Your Faithful One to see decay. 11) You reveal the path of life to me; in Your presence is abundant joy; in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.
Psalm 15
A Davidic psalm. 1) Lord, who can dwell in Your tent? Who can live on Your holy mountain? 2) The one who lives honestly, practices righteousness, and acknowledges the truth in his heart-- 3) who does not slander with his tongue, who does not harm his friend or discredit his neighbor, 4) who despises the one rejected by the Lord but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his word whatever the cost, 5) who does not lend his money at interest or take a bribe against the innocent-- the one who does these things will never be moved.
