Title: He Is Not Finished With You Yet
Series: Resurrection to Pentecost (4 of 8)
Scripture: John 21
Author: Tim Melton
Have you wandered if God is finished with you? You made a mistake. Maybe it was a word, a thought, or an action. Maybe age has left you less able or fruitless ministry has caused you to doubt.

This time it happened as seven of the disciples were fishing on the Sea of Galilee (Sea of Tiberias). The purpose was no longer to convince them that He was alive. They now believed. Jesus wante ...
