Called Again: Finding Purpose Beyond Discouragement

Drawing from the account of Jesus appearing to His disciples on the shore after His resurrection, this sermon examines how discouragement can cause believers to abandon their God-given calling and return to familiar, self-reliant patterns. Using Peter's return to fishing as a central illustration, the pastor explores how Jesus graciously pursues His people a second time, not because of their abilities or contributions, but because of His sovereign purpose for them. The sermon emphasizes that God values availability over ability, that His direction and power are essential to fruitful ministry, and that no failure disqualifies a believer from being used by God. The message closes with an encouragement to seek God's will actively, wait on His timing, and trust that as long as there is breath, there is purpose.
