What Do You Do When You Feel Like You've Messed Everything Up?
Have you ever felt unqualified or even disqualified? After denying Jesus three times, Peter went back to the one thing he knew: fishing. He worked all night and caught nothing. But Jesus showed up on the shore, filled his net, cooked him breakfast, and gave him his purpose back. In this message, Pastor Angel Esquivel reminds us that our failures don’t have the final word. Even when we feel lost, Jesus still provides, still invites us to the table, and still says, “Follow me.”
Main points:
When life feels uncertain, we go back to what’s familiar and manageableGod still provides for us, even when we feel distant from HimJesus asks honest questions in our emptiness, not to shame us but to show us our need for HimWorking harder on our own isn’t enough; apart from Jesus we can do nothingJesus prepares a table and restores our purpose, even after failureSometimes all we need is some friends and some food

How To Have A Real Conversation
Jesus used the table as one of His most powerful settings for transformation, and the story of Levi the tax collector shows us why. When Jesus called Levi, He saw him fully, knowing every flaw and failure, and chose him anyway. That is the heart of the gospel. God sees us completely and still pursues us. Because we have been seen and chosen by Him, we are now called to see others the same way. The table, whether it is a family dinner, a coffee with a coworker, or a meal with a neighbor, is still one of the most natural places for the gospel to take root. Put the phone down, ask real questions, and let Jesus lead the conversation.
