Only One Matthias

"Only One Matthias" – John 21

In this deeply moving sermon from John 21, Pastor Jeff Cox reflects on the life of Peter—a man who failed, denied, and could have been cast aside. Just as Judas was replaced by Matthias, Peter could have been replaced too. But instead, Jesus met him on the shore, not with condemnation, but with restoration. Pastor Cox powerfully reminds us that God's grace doesn’t discard the broken—it redeems them. This message is a beautiful picture of how the Lord, in His mercy, still chooses to use us in His kingdom, not because we are worthy, but because He is gracious.
