    In the journey that Mary and Joseph took to Bethlehem they conquered their fear and learned to live by faith. Peter was called to do the same. He boldly began the walk but he lost his focus and began to be afraid. Fear is our constant companion in life but it doesn’t have to be our master. ...read more

    Easter is not about celebrating Jesus crucifixion it’s about celebrating Jesus resurrection, our focus is not death it’s life. This sermon looks at the effect of the resurrection on Peter & Thomas and us.

    I want to take us on a journey back in time Back to Easter Sunday. Not last week, I want to take us back a couple of thousand years.

    Chosen by Our Lord as what we at St. Peter’s Church called “Prince of the Apostles,” this guy had chronic, idiopathic foot-in-mouth disease.

    Tuesday of Holy Week 2019 Peter the Apostle I think that early on when I heard this story, repeated in more than one Gospel, of Peter’s bravado and ultimate betrayal, I thought, “what a loser.” Chosen by Our Lord as what we at St. Peter’s Church called “Prince of the Apostles,” this guy had ...read more

    Restored To Lead - (Lesson From Peter On Denying Christ)

    Contributed by Don Aldrich Tamayo on Dec 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 776 views

    This is a message for anyone who feels like their failure has disqualified them from God’s plans. Through Peter’s story, we see that failure is not the end; it’s an opportunity for God to show His grace and call us into greater purpose.

    Expository Sermon: Restored to Lead Key Text: John 21:17 – “He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, 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, ...read more

    What Was The Significance Of Both Jesus And Peter Walking On The Water?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 14, 2025
     | 161 views

    If walking on water takes faith, then every day living takes just as much faith for us to respond to the Lord with.

    What was the Significance of Both Jesus and Peter Walking on the Water? Matthew 14:24-33 There are actually two separate sermons within this passage of Scripture (vs 22-23 & 24-33). The first part speaks of Jesus’ time alone with the Father. But for this message, I want to focus on the second ...read more

    6 Steps That Led Peter To Deny Christ And May Lead Us Too

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Nov 26, 2019

     | 19,009 views

    What steps led Peter to deny Christ? Can these steps be repeated in the lives of believers? How can we avoid repeating Peter's denial of Christ in our own lives?

    We know from the Gospels that Peter was a transparent man. He would ask Jesus the obvious questions, showed his feelings, and even boasted that he would stay with Christ to the end. However, that boasting did not last very long at all: ...she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with ...read more

    Note the depth of honesty in the Gospels. There is no cover-up here: Peter blew it! But Before we condemn Peter, given the circumstances, would we have shown up in Caiaphas’ courtyard that evening?
