Listen "143 - A Charcoal Fire* "
Episode Synopsis
The following is a first-person narrative sermon I preached at our church Sunday May 1, 2022. It is my imaginative supposal of what the final night of Jesus' life might have been like for Peter as well as his eventual encounter with Jesus after his resurrection. I offer this sermon to you as an encouragement of the way that Jesus meets us at our worst with his grace and love. John mentions a charcoal fire in both chapter 18 and chapter 21 of his gospel, and I believe he does so quite intentionally. He's capturing something about the transforming nature of God's grace and he doesn't want anyone to miss it!
From the sermon: "Jesus met me in the place of my most painful memory and turned it into the place of communion and welcome!"
