Series: From Mount Calvary to Mount Olivet
Donald Cantrell
John 21: 18 - 22


I - The Binding Call ''Follow Me'' (18 - 19)

II - The Biting Charge ''Focus on Me'' (20 - 22)

III - The Billowing Critic ''Find Me''

Theme: ''Peter chastised for having the wrong focus''


This is sermon number four in my ''After Easter Series - From Mount Calvary to Mount Olivet.'' In this sermon we will follow up on the sermon ''Lost and Found'' in which the Lord sought out Peter and restored him to the ministry.

In this sermon Jesus once again asks his disciple to ''follow him'' but Peter loses his focus upon the Lord and turns his attention to John and his death. Upon inquiring about John and how he might die, the Lord once again takes his servant to the woodshed.

The church of today is filled with ''claim jumpers'' that are deadest on jumping into the business of others.

Stay in your own lane and run your own race.
