"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.”

Title of the Message: “Why John outran Peter?” John records that he outran Peter to the empty tomb? This message is speculation, but I believe that the trues are very acurate. In context John records that he is, “The disciple whom Jesus loved.” When Peter was running to the tomb, no ...read more

Covenant Of Reproduction

Contributed by Paddy Venner on Dec 23, 2005

When God covenants with us, there has to be a mark, but where?
