In John 21:15–17, the risen Jesus meets his disciples on the shore after a long night of fishing. Over a charcoal fire, he cooks breakfast and restores Peter — not with a lecture, but with love. Before he ever commands, “Feed my sheep,” he first feeds them. Grace before commission; love before labor. In this message, Kelly Antonson reflects on what it means to embody Jesus’ love language: acts of service. Our love for Christ isn’t proven in words alone, but in how we tend, feed, and care for his people. On this Stewardship Sunday, we’re reminded that giving isn’t about money, but about meaning — a spiritual practice that turns gratitude into generosity and faith into action. Every pledge, every act of care, every “yes” is our way of saying, “Lord, you know that I love you.”
