4 SCRIPTURE John 21: (NKJV) Jesus Restores Peter 15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, [a] do you love Me more than these? He said to Him, Yes, Lord; You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs. 16 He said to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, [b] do you love Me? He said to Him, Yes, Lord; You know that I love You. He said to him, Tend My sheep. 17 He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, [c] do you love Me? Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, Do you love Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep. 18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish. 19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, Follow Me. The Beloved Disciple and His Book 20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is the one who betrays You? 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, But Lord, what about this man? 22 Jesus said to him, If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me. 23 Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? 4

5 RESPONSIVE READING Psalm 113: 1-9 (NKJV) LEADER: Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore! CONG: From the rising of the sun to its going down the Lord s name is to be praised. LEADER: Who is like the Lord our God, Who dwells on high, Who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in the heavens and in the earth? CONG: ALL: He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, That He may seat him with princes With the princes of His people. He grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord! 5

6 VICTORY IN JESUS I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory, How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me: I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood s atoning, Then I repented of my sins and won the victory. Chorus: O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever! He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood, He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him - He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood. I heard about His healing, of His cleansing power revealing, How He made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see; And then I cried, Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit, And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory. I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory, And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea; About the angels singing and the old redemption story, And some sweet day I ll sing up there the song of victory. 6

7 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.
