What happens when the call you've received from God feels distant, and you find yourself circling back to what's comfortable? Pastor Colin takes us to the shores of Galilee, where Peter—still reeling from his devastating denial of Jesus—picks up his old fishing nets and returns to familiar waters. After a fruitless night, the disciples encounter the risen Christ who orchestrates a miraculous catch that echoes their very first calling. Colin reveals how spiritual failure often stems not from lack of love, but from spiritual unpreparedness—those small moments of neglected watchfulness that leave us vulnerable when trials come. Through Peter's restoration at a charcoal fire—the same type where he once denied Christ—we see Jesus' grace meeting us in our painful places. The message challenges our "peacetime spirituality," urging us to prepare now rather than wait for the moment to arrive. Like Matt Traa, the faithful chef who spent decades shepherding people at sea, we're called not to impressive platforms but to faithful presence with God's people. Colin's words cut through our tendency to circle back to comfort: Jesus asks only one question—"Do you love me?"—and if the answer is yes, the command is clear: feed His sheep. Don't wait for your moment to come; start preparing now by staying ready, focused, and committed to the flock God has placed before you.
