In this message, Pastor LJ Johnson unpacks the story of Jesus appearing to His disciples on the beach in John 21 to answer the question we all eventually ask: \"Now what?\"\n\n📖 Scripture Reference: John 21:1-14, Matthew 6:33, Romans 12:2\n\n1️⃣ Do Something. When the disciples didn't know what to do after Jesus' death, Peter said \"I'm going fishing.\" Sitting still and waiting is one of the most dangerous places to be — we're built to move forward, not stay stagnant.\n\n2️⃣ Am I Willing to Change? Jesus told the disciples to throw their net on the \"other side\" of the boat — completely against convention and common sense. Reaching people today requires letting go of \"the way we've always done it\" and building real relationships with people far from God.\n\n3️⃣ Am I Remembering What God Has Already Done? When Peter recognized Jesus, he immediately jumped into action. Gratitude for what God has already done fuels the courage to take the next step — while an ungrateful, \"Eeyore\" spirit keeps us stuck.\n\n4️⃣ Seek the Kingdom First. Pastor LJ challenges us to filter the words that come out of our mouths — because what we speak reveals what we truly believe. Full obedience to Christ starts with a transformed mind and heart (Romans 12:2).\n\n5️⃣ The Call to Make Disciples. The message closes with a challenge: it's simple, but not easy — go and make disciples. If you've drifted from sharing your faith, today is the day to take a step.\n\n🙏 If you don't know Jesus, or you've been resisting Him, this message ends with a prayer of surrender and an invitation to give your heart fully to Christ.\n\nAbout Christ Alive Church: Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus who encounter God's presence and bring healing to their cities.\n📍 Join us in person or online every week!...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JB9tV5gv4wGAaE-gNC12AsbYArue-fR-bgd3jaYsKJ8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iOTE5/Yjk5N2IwZjg5YzVk/NDI3ZWJhY2IzMGIw/MTA3NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
