Happy Father’s Day!

In this episode, Dr. Mo concludes the series, Resurrection and Relationships. Today we focus again on the passage from John 21:20-22 and highlight Jesus’s instruction to Peter and invitation to us.

Jesus reminded Peter that Peter needed to attend to his relationship with Jesus and not be distracted with the plans for the other disciples. Jesus instructed Peter to not worry about other issues and to “follow Him”. Jesus instructed and invited Peter to follow Him after Peter had rejected, abandoned, betrayed, and denied Him.

Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus invites us to follow Him when we have been betrayed, rejected, abandoned, or denied. He invites us into the redemption that He purchased for us during the Crucifixion. Also, for those of us who have betrayed, rejected, abandoned, or denied others - He invites us also into a redemptive state. Redemption is ours!

Happy Pentecost!

In this episode, Dr. Mo continues the series, Resurrection and Relationships. Today we focus a bit further on the conversation between Jesus and Peter. We read from John 21:20-22 and focus on another portion of their conversation.

Sometimes when there is tension in our relationships or we hear uncomfortable or difficult things in conversations; we can find ourselves questioning “well, what about this person or that person?” We might entangle another person into the conversation to ease our discomfort or to project our difficulties on someone else.

Peter did this as he continued to engage in a conversation with Jesus. Jesus quickly and bluntly asked Peter “what’s that to you?” Jesus reminded Peter that the hard conversation they were having toward reconciliation was just between the two of them.

Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus invites us to stay focused on our relationship with Him. He reminds us to do what He has asked us to do despite our questions concerning others.

In this episode, Dr. Mo continues the series, Resurrection and Relationships. Today’s focus is when we find ourselves engaging in the difficult work of reconciliation and there is frustration and grief from the perpetrator.

We are discussing and thinking about practical ways to participate in the work of reconciliation. Dr. Mo reads from John 21:15-17 as we focus on this interaction between Jesus and Peter. Ironically, this is the third time that Jesus appears to the disciples following the Resurrection. And here we see Jesus asking Peter three times if Peter really loves Him. Theologians suggest that Jesus asked this question three times as a way to redeem Peter. One time for each of the three denials of Jesus.

Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus might be inviting perpetrators of betrayal to engage in reconciliation especially when one might be grieved at the duration of the process and the repeated interrogations.
