The Failure (7 of 7)
Series: Can't Believe: Gospel of John
JD Greear
John 21:1-25


Video of Jason: Preacher in him. We baptized 138 last week which brings out total to 320 baptisms within a 1-­-week time period. Most we've ever had. One final week... for those of you have held on! For two weeks you have made a resolution. Just as Christ was dead in the grave for 2 days but on the 3rd day he was raised, so you have been unbaptized and disobedient for 2 weeks and on this 3rd week you will rise up to be baptized...

So, I skipped Thomas, and I need to end this series this week because of some really exciting things we need to get to next week. So, I'm going to come back and pick up the Thomas story later when I have a free week, because it really kills me to not do his story-his story sort of sums up this whole series. It will be like Can't Believe: The Lost Files or bonus tracks or something like that.)

John 21
