New Year Sermon: Life Of Peter

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Dec 30, 2018

Peter was willing to lay down his life for Jesus. The same Peter who once said to Jesus ‘You are Christ, the Son of the Living God’ now says, ‘I do not know this Man of whom you speak!’ What made Peter to fail Jesus?

Once a man died & went to the gates of heaven. AS he was about to enter in to heaven, Peter stands by the gates and refuses to let him in. Peter says.. tell me why I should let you into heaven.

Elders should be nominated by the people and appointed by the other elders. The elder takes over the roles of the ...read more

"Why John Did Outrun Peter"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 11, 2005

When John was running, the text indicates he was running with the mindset of “He loves me, he loves me, he loves me.”
