THE ART OF SERVING
The Art Of Serving

I want you to take your bibles please and turn uh, to the gospel of John and turn please to John chapter twenty one and we're going to look at a very interesting question. John chapter twenty one.

I want to give you some background for the passage of scripture that I just read to you. Bloody Calvary is only a few days old.

They don't know whether they can believe it or not. These disciples are restless. They're perplexed. They are disturbed. They had been told by the Savior to wait in Jerusalem until they were induced with power from on high, but in disobedience and out of the will ...
