Title: Lift what Matters (2 of 4)
Series: From Surviving to Thriving
Author: David Ireland
Text: John 21:1-9
God Delights In Seeing You Live a Thriving Life.
Today's sermon is the second part of the 4-part series "From Surviving to THRIVING".
A) Show me a person that's merely surviving, just making it; just holding on, and I will show you someone who is:

For example, eating junk food is a lighter, more comforting lift rather than eating healthy.
Lifting approval is a light load because you'd rather deal with the weight of guilt and validation than lifting what's right.

If you're going to lift what matters, repairing broken relationships is crucial.

"No!" they answered. 6 So he told them, "Let your net down on the right side of your boat, and you will catch some fish." They did, and the net was so full of fish that they could not drag it up into the boat. 7 Jesus' favorite disciple told Peter, "It's the ...
