courts is better than a thousand i would rather be a door keeper in the house of my god than to dwell in the tents of wickedness because of the house of the lord our god i will seek thy good there those that are planted in the house of the lord shall flourish in the hearts of our god bless bless bless bless are they that dwell within thy house lord i have loved your habitation it's the place where your honor dwells for the lord is in his holy temple let everybody keep silence before him let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight oh lord my strength and my redeemer oh sing unto the lord a new song for he has done marvelous things make a joyful noise unto the lord all the earth shin praises hallelujah and once we come into the house of the lord it's time to bow in submission to god so whatever you need to do wherever you are whether you're still in bed whether you're at your kitchen table whether you're gathered in the living room or the family room with with friends let's center ourselves and go to god in prayer oh lord our god how excellent is thy name in all the earth we raise you up this morning we lift you up we love you we worship you we praise you because you are god all by yourself and as we come into your sanctuary we now come and we lay before your altar all our cares all our burdens everything that we've carried with us some of us have family issues that we're dealing with some of us have sickness that we're dealing with some of us have financial problems that we're dealing with but lord we know when we need to come it's to you because you've got the answer you've got the answer if we just hang on in there and keep on believing and serving and believing and serving and believing and serving in your word lord we know that there's suffering only for a little while and that suffering makes us stronger and so we come to you this morning and we lay our hearts open we didn't just bring our bodies to worship today we didn't just bring our minds here we brought our soul that's our hearts and so we lay our hearts before you lord and we say examine me examine us examine everyone here and if there be anything evil in us god cast it out this morning now god the man who will preach your word this morning touch him right now put your thoughts into his head let the your voice come from his mouth because we came this morning to hear a word from the lord and so god give him that word that he may give it to us and we can make it through one more week this we all ask in the precious and the mighty and the matchless name of jesus the christ amen and amen [Music] amen our scripture lesson this morning comes from the gospel of john the 21st chapter verses one through seven the gospel of john the 21st chapter verses one through seven and it reads this way afterward jesus appeared again to his disciples by the sea of galilee it happened this way simon peter thomas also known as didymus nathanael from cana in galilee the sons of zebedee and two other disciples were together i'm going out to fish simon peter told them and they said we'll go with you so they went out and got into the boat but that night they caught nothing early in the morning jesus stood on the shore but the disciples did not realize that it was jesus he called out to them friends haven't you any fish no they answered he said throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some when they did they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish then the disciple whom jesus loves said to peter it is the lord as soon as simon peter heard him say it is the lord he wrapped up his outer garment around him for he had taken it off and jumped into the water [Music] can we just get everyone that's watching and everyone that's in the building just for a few moments can we get you just to lift your hands those that are able to that have the capacity to lift up your hands if you can't do that if you're watching just close your eyes just for a few minutes few seconds and i want you to get into your mind what you need god to do the place that you're at in life right now the reason we ask you to lift your hands is because it is a sign of surrenderance to a power that is greater an understanding that is much more greater than your own so whatever you came in here today whatever you're carrying and get home or on your job or wherever you're at right now just get that into your mind right now and give it to god we live in a world that is governed by cause and effect but by the very mere fact that we're here today means that you were destined to be here it doesn't really matter the situation or the circumstances that brought you here into the building or or even while you're watching the thing is there's something that you must hear here today that is why you're here that is why you're watching and if you're carrying the weight of what you're going through on your shoulders you're going to miss it so just for those next few moments lift up your voice to god in worship god we love you today [Music] god we honor you today we bless your name [Music] god we bless your name yes god hey father we left your name on hand for there's no god like jehovah there's no god like jehovah there's no god like our god there's no god who can keep us there's no one that can save us there's no one that can heal us you are god jehovah you're supplier of our needs you're the alpha you're omega you're a beginning in our end god we love you today you know the road you

those who made it through the storm here in maryland and new jersey and new york and louisiana come on give god a glory praise in jesus name let the church say amen please stand to your feet choir as well as our stewardesses and those of you who are at home on this first sunday and it's on this first sunday in september this labor day weekend that we certainly bring a word to you uh that encourages your heart that encourages your faith that encourages hallelujah to press on it's a familiar text it's a familiar word but we're coming at it from a different way amen let's take a look at the book of john chapter 21 verse 1 through 7. and let's read it together i will lead but we look forward to you reading it together amen it says afterward jesus appeared again to his disciples by the sea of galilee it happened this way simon peter thomas also known as didymus hallelujah nathanael from cana in galilee the sons of zebedee and two other disciples were together verse three i'm going out to fish simon peter told them and they said we'll go with you so they went out and got into the boat but that night they caught nothing come on holy ghost early in the morning jesus stood on the shore but the disciples did not really realize that it was jesus he called out to them friends haven't you any fish no they answered he said throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some when they did they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish finally then the disciples whom jesus loved said to peter it is the lord as soon as simon peter heard him say it he is the lord he wrapped his outer garment around him for he had taken it off and jumped into the water please take your seats let me put a tag on this text don't give up try again amen look at your neighbor and say don't give up try again amen thank you brian for that new amen wonderful song that you give us but we want to make sure don't give up try again truth is christian character consists of not what you do the first time but what you do over what a lifetime is what you do day after day week after week month after month quarter after quarter year after year i can guarantee you one thing dr brazil we will fail at some thing somebody say amen it consists it is a conscious decision never to give up but try try again i like what reverend jesse jackson said reverend jackson jesse jackson says if you fall behind run faster never give up never surrender rise up against the odds amen without a doubt i have made the pathetic and painful mistake of giving up just before god bless me i wonder if i'm by myself have you ever given up right before god blessed you hallelujah then i know i'm not alone we we convince ourselves there's nothing left to do so we quit am i talking anybody here instead of giving it one more shot instead of giving it one more try instead of trying just one more time so we quit they allow we allow our frustrations to get the best of us so we quit we are we would permit previous disappointments to discourage us so we quit we allow others to get into our head with negative thoughts hallelujah and negative influences upon us so we quit we get into our feelings we get into our emotions we get into what we think hallelujah other people are saying about us so we quit we believe the rumors we actually believe what's on facebook as if we are the customer we believe what we hear that's going through the rumor mail so we quit and you know the worst thing hallelujah sister peggy is the worst feeling in the world is to witness somebody else hallelujah accomplish that which god gave you the vision and the mission to do and they do it but you quit on it can i talk to somebody here today they quit before god blesses them here we find the content in the context of the text is known as an epilogue well pastor what's an epilogue well let me tell you an epilogue describes events which happen after all the plots have been finished the epilogue is what takes place after the thing has been done you know you got the prologue then you have the epilogue the epilogue is what happens at the end it tells what happened to the main character of the story afterwards we tells what happens after the crucifixion after the resurrection it tells what happens after they had given up on god in jesus christ here we find john the revelator's purpose in this story is to reveal how jesus indeed reinstates peter after he has fallen after he has denied him after he has given up on him after he decides to go fishing instead of following the great commission that jesus had told him to do in matthew chapter 28 verses 16 through 17. i want to know if i'm talking to anybody here that when the raging spiritual storm is all around you and sometimes it's hard to hear the night to see and hear the night from the day what do you do here's my relevant question reverend joe what do you do after you quit hallelujah what do you do after you quit after you've given up after you've thrown in the towel what do you do after you quit here's my first point alleluia reverend mayor uh the first point is i quit even the words themselves have a way of disturbing our christian consciousness that's why the bible says in john chapter 21 verse 3 i'm going out to fish simon peter told them and and they said we'll go with you so they went out and got into the boat but that night they caught nothing let me make sure you understand because if you don't know what took place in the context hallelujah you won't understand what that means when they say they're going out fishing because you know that jesus byron had told them i'm going to meet you in galilee but instead of them going to galilee to meet jesus they go out fishing somebody help me amen that what does that mean that means uh those two words i quit hallelujah is creeping into the consciousness of peter in fact these two words i quit cracks marriages and cripples churches and crashes families and crushes the receiver of those treaded those two dreaded words that i quit the person who is quitting is in a position of power and mathematically feels that they have a higher level of options to choose from yeah yeah in a word peter says i quit i'm done i'm out of here so long i'm going fishing in fact peter influences the six other apostles to quit in other words they're gonna break up with god i know what jesus told me to do but i'm going fishing isn't it amazing how a quitter has the power to convince others to quit to oh yeah yeah yeah how a quitter will convince you hallelujah to quit on god peter and the six apostles choose to go fishing so they really quit on god and jesus christ i don't know about you but that's diameter that's diabolical diametrical as a matter of fact that's devastating when you tire when you decide to tell god in jesus christ i'm not doing what you told me to do generally speaking people who quit have a long list of good reasons for quitting i know i'm talking to somebody here because you've heard some of them but i decided to bring them back to your memory can i talk to three people here somebody made fun of me i quit somebody offended my friend i quit somebody criticized me i quit somebody talked about me on facebook i quit somebody doesn't value what i bring to the table you don't know who i am so i quit somebody changed things how dare you sit in my seat how dare you take my solo how dare you take my position so i quit anytime we use the word i it literally moves the sovereign god out of the way and replaces ourselves with god can i talk to you anytime here anytime we quit hallelujah it takes the focus off of god and places the focus on ourselves it's no longer about god but it's about you but when we choose to break up with god i got some good news for you god has never chosen to break up with you as a matter of fact the bible says in john chapter 14 verse 18 i will never leave you comfortless i will come to you i don't know about you but i'm happy that jesus never left us never forsake us and never left us by ourselves as a matter of fact the text says jesus came looking for them that's why the book of galatians chapter 6 verse 9 says let us not become weary in doing well hallelujah but at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up i learned one of the most valuable lessons in life is not to give up on god because god will not give up on you truth be told we will never grow in grace by quitting we will never grow in god by quitting we'll never lean on god by quitting we'll never serve god by quitting we'll never remain faithful to god by quitting we will not become who god wants us to become by quitting will never become fruitful for god by quitting here's my first message that i want you to write down in your chat stop letting people who do little for you control the god within you oh my god stop letting people who do little for you control the god that's within you because greater is he that's in you than he that's in your hater that's he that's in your world does he that's in your quitter that's why the book of philippians says in 4 13 i can do what all things through christ who strengthens me somebody know what i'm talking about here's my second point i want you to write it down in the text it says stay in the water somebody put stay in the water you see the bible says in john chapter 21 verse 5 he called out to them friends haven't you any fish no they answered you see the text says jesus called out to them but they stayed in the water what do you mean what stay in the water means that means you got to stay in the game that means you got to stay in the way that means you got to stay in it because if you don't stay in it you can't get what god has for you somebody help me jesus was on the shore but they stayed in the water jesus discovered they had no fish but they stayed in the water what i like about the text hallelujah reverend mia is jesus was there but they couldn't find him they didn't hear him they didn't discover him they didn't recognize him but they were faithful enough to stay in the water somebody say stay in the water this was not the first time that their nets were empty after they had been fishing all night along but they knew these professional fishermen knew they had to be faithful to god to stay in the water they failed all night long to catch a fish but they stayed in the water they did not give up walk away get out of the water but they stayed in the water hallelujah it reminds me reverend deck of one of my mentors he loved to go bass fishing i don't know about you but i like me some bags he would go bass fishing and mr skinner he would pick on big bass and he told me the secret he said the secret is hallelujah sister peggy you got to have your baiting you got to have your pole you got to have your fish you got to have your your your boat but i got some news for you unless you get in the water and you're staying you're never going to catch a fish i can tell i don't have anybody in the house that's got some fisherman's sense but i want to talk to somebody in the house who has some fishermen since the problem that we have is some of us get out of the water too soon we got to stay in the water even when it doesn't appear that there's any success coming our way you got to stay in the water even when you have not caught a husband or a wife stay in the water even when your job market seems dried up stay in the water when it seems that you can't have a baby in the tame land that you thought was coming stay in the water even when the church is changing even when the pastor is not the same stay in the water when you're sick and tired of being tired you got to stay in the water stay in the water hallelujah when your marriage is going sideways and your family is going the other way stay in the water when the family is feuding stay in the water when the boss is too busy stay in the water when the school is too demanding stay in the water without complaining stay in the water in good times and in bad stay in the water until your hope comes i want to know if there's anybody in the house that stood in the water and the lord brought you through that stool in the water and the lord brought you in i want to know if there's anybody in the house that can be like jesus who is telling peter walk on the water don't you take your eyes off of jesus don't you worry about the wind don't you worry about the wave because my god can take you oh god stay in the water stay in the water field my hope coming somebody right in the chat try again somebody write in the chat try again what i like about this tag dr bazil is you know word jesus tells them to try again somebody right try again you see the bible the bible the bible says hallelujah sister hannah in john chapter 21 verse 6. he said i throw your net on the other side of the boat and you will find some when they did they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish in a word jesus says try again that's what he said don't you understand jesus they've been fishing all night long but jesus simply says try again and their arms were weary and the legs were tired but jesus says try again they have been all night along they are professional fishermen ribbon joe but jesus says try again it doesn't make sense because some of us want something so sophisticated so dramatic so educated but jesus just gives two words he says try again but i caught nothing jesus and jesus says try again hallelujah hear the message he is it's really rather simple because you've heard more preachers preach about the fact that when they put their net on the other side of the boat hallelujah they caught fish that nearly cracked the net you've heard of the fish preachers talk about the fact that the pool wasn't on this side but it was on the right side of god i got some news for you you can execute that text talking about the net you can execute that text talking about this fish but i feel that the lord is telling me the word that you need to look at is just two words when you bend down when you've been out you got to try again i want somebody to shout after me try again i can't help but believe the most important and most valuable lesson we have to learn in life is to try again sometimes things happen in our lives that break our hearts and steal our joy but we got to try again we need to realize that the hardship is better too to make us stronger wiser and better to try again come on bible talk to me noah suffered in the great flood but he tried again joseph was sold into slavery but he tried again moses came to the red sea but he tried again joshua lost the air but he tried again hallelujah nehemiah failed the rebellion from symbolic and tobacco for rebuilding the walls of jerusalem but he tried again can i talk to anybody up in this his house if you tried again and the lord was able to make a way out of the way i want you to hear jesus says try again after you failed over and over again try again after you've been disgraced try again after you fall and pray to the devil try again to love the lord after you've yielded to temptation try again after you've been humiliated by haters try again after you somebody has knocked you down and lied on you try again after you've done all that you can do paul hallelujah died if godly mcclurkin says after you've done everything that you can do why don't you just stand can i get a witness up in this house that's what paul says in second thessalonians chapter 3 verse 13 but ye brethren and ye sisters be not weary in your well doing i dare you to try to give god a glory praise to try to lift up your bowed down hand come on get up out of yourself get up out of your feelings get up out of your disgrace get up out of your loneliness get up out of your head and try again [Music] i got two more points and then we're going on somebody say it is the lord hallelujah yet he is the lord i like this text why because the bible the bible says then the disciples whom jesus loved said to peter it is the lord somebody write it he is the lord hallelujah it says this statement tells me that peter had to recover rediscover who the lord is how well do you know the lord i got to tell you about him if you don't know who he is because peter literally took off his clothes wrapped himself with a towel a shawl and jumped in the water because he realized it was the lord it was jesus who had told him to put his net on the other side of the boat after he had been despondent in despair hallelujah after he had been distracted after he had failed the lord three times after he had failed to go to the trial after he had failed to do the things that the apostles should do after he had been given the keys to the kingdom but jesus called him and told him to come on jesus called him i want to know if there's anybody in the house that calls him your dearest friend do you lean upon his everlasting arms do you talk to him in the midnight hour do you follow in his footsteps without hesitation or do you give him an undivided attention when he calls your name do you allow him to have a perfect place and a perfect will in your life how well do you know the lord i'm just asking you this morning do you understand why peter got so excited we must acknowledge that he is indeed the son of a living god we must acknowledge he is indeed the savior of the whole world we must acknowledge that he is indeed a will in the middle of the wheel we must acknowledge indeed he is the way the truth and the light we must acknowledge indeed that he is the living bread he is the sacrificial lamb of god he is the author and the giver of eternal life do you know who my jesus is i can tell maybe you're missing it but i know who he is did you know that he is the rose of sharon the lily of the valley but do you want one more thing he never quit do you know that he is the fairest of the ten thousand and one altogether lonely but he never quit that he is the master over the wind and the waves because he never quit he is the same yesterday today and tomorrow because he never quit he is the king of kings and the lord of lords because he never quit he holds the keys to hell and death because he never quit they criminalized him but he did not quit they beat him but he did not quit they made him carry a cross but he did not quit they nailed him hallelujah to the cross but he did not quaint her they pissed him in the side but he did not quit he is the lord they crowned him but he did not quit they stripped him before his mama but he did not quit they killed him but he did not quaker he died on friday but early sunday morning early sunday morning hallelujah on the third day god didn't quit on him is there anybody in the house that can declare on your feet that god didn't quit on us he is god all by himself when i think about the goodness of the lord i can't give up on god he's the same god that opened the doors of read temple we don't quit he's the same god that can make fishermen successful don't you give up don't you give in don't you give out he's the same god that woke you up this morning dress you in your right mind he's the same god that gave you salvation that gave you the lord i don't know about you but when i think about the goodness of the lord and what he's done for us i can't help but praise him i can't stop praising him i can't stop lifting him up is there
