The Empty Tomb
April 5, 2026
Introduction
• Fallen Condition Focus: Like Peter we fail Christ even when we intend to do our best. Our moral and spiritual failures can lead us to regrets of the past and despair about our future.
• Sermon Proposition: Since the risen Christ is with us to give us a new beginning, we ought to return to him confessing our faith and love for him
I. The miracle that reignites our faith in Christ (Jn. 21:1-8; cf. Lk. 5:1-11)
II. The meal the reestablishes our fellowship with Christ (Jn. 21:9-14; cf. Jn. 6:1-15; Matt. 26:26-29; Rev. 19:9)
III. The mission that restores our followership of Christ (Jn. 21:15-19; cf. Jn. 1:43; Matt. 4:17; Jn. 18:15-18, 25-27)
