LEADER: This is the Word of God

CONGREGATION: Thanks Be Unto God

SCRIPTURE John 21: 1-14 (NKJV)

Breakfast by the Sea

21 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of

Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the

Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His

disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”

They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately[a] got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”

They answered Him, “No.”

6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will

find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of

the multitude of fish.

7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now

when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for

he had removed it), and plunged into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in

the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits),

dragging the net with fish. 9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw

a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring

some of the fish which you have just caught.”

11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one

hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not

broken. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the

disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the

Lord. 13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise

the fish. 14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He

was raised from the dead.

RESPONSIVE READING Psalm 46: 1 - 7 (NKJV)

LEADER: God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

CONG: Therefore we will not fear, Even though

the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

LEADER: Though its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

CONG: There is a river whose streams shall make

glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

LEADER: God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

ALL: The LORD of hosts is with us; The God

of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

WE’RE MARCHING TO ZION

1. Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known, Join in a song with sweet accord, Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne, and thus surround the throne.

Chorus

We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion

We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God.

2. Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our

God; But children of the heav’nly King, But children of the heav’nly King, May speak their joys abroad, May speak their joys abroad.

3. Then let our songs abound, And ev’ry tear be

dry; We’re marching thro’ Immanuel’s ground, We’re marching thro’ Immanuel’s ground, To fairer worlds on high, To fairer worlds on high.

Special Giving Above Tithe and Offering

“The tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.” Leviticus 27:32

Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we, cheerfully give to God our tithes and offerings. Tithing honors God. Are you giving the Lord His tithes or your tips? The word tithe means to give back to God one tenth of your earnings for the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world.

If you earn

You owe the Lord
