Do You Love Jesus? | Follower | Week 6

After Peter’s greatest failure, Jesus didn’t ask for an explanation.
He asked a question.

In Week 6 of our Follower series, Pastor CJ Ward teaches through John 21 and the powerful moment where Jesus restores Peter after his denial. Around a charcoal fire — the same setting where Peter once failed — Jesus invites Peter into grace, restoration, and renewed purpose.

This message explores:

• Why we can’t earn our way into a relationship with God

• How guilt and pride distort our view of grace

• Why love is a response, not a requirement

• How Jesus restores us without minimizing our failure

• Why following Jesus starts with staying connected, not performing

Scripture: John 21:1–19

If you’ve ever wondered whether your mistakes disqualify you from following Jesus, this message is for you. No matter how far you think you’ve gone, you are never too far gone for grace.

The question that determines everything isn’t “Are you good enough?”
It’s “Do you love Jesus?”
