#62 Two Rocks Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Feb 13, 2022

In the story of Jesus being brought to His Jewish trial, Mark portrays two “rocks” – Jesus the solid rock and Peter, the “cracked rock.” This sermon contrasts the steadfastness of Jesus to Peter’s denials and challenges us to think about what these two examples teach us in our lives personally.

The underdog is an unlikely candidate for success, because he’s too small, or they’re too weak, or inexperienced. Yet we know it’s the underdog ...read more
