Moving Forward: Overcoming Spiritual Recidivism

In this powerful message, we're challenged to confront our tendency to relapse into old behaviors and thought patterns. The story of Jesus' post-resurrection appearance by the Sea of Galilee (John 21) serves as a poignant reminder that God meets us in our moments of doubt and confusion. Just as the disciples struggled with uncertainty, we too face 'what now?' moments in our faith journey.

The image of Jesus preparing breakfast on the shore symbolizes His constant care and provision, even when we feel lost or unproductive. This narrative encourages us to recognize God's presence in our waiting periods and to resist the urge to return to our old ways. Instead, we're called to embrace the growth and stretching of our faith, trusting that God is leading us towards greater things, even if the path seems unclear.
