    Few successful people accomplished great things through ordinary methods.

    After reading any of today’s newspapers is it little wonder why many are skeptical about meeting new people.

    After reading any of today’s newspapers is it little wonder why many are skeptical about meeting new people. No doubt Jesus could have given in to the temptation to doubt people’s motives. Yet, He maintained an upbeat attitude toward every person He met. Jesus looked at people’s potential because ...read more

    Jesus sees not merely what we are, but what we can be. Peter was transformed from an unstable, weak, and impetuous man to a man who was rock solid for Christ.

    A New Name

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 5, 2003
    based on 214 ratings
     | 26,227 views

    As we think about the new year, we need to see that: 1. God is always doing a new thing. 2. Only God can bring about real change. 3. God’s new name for us means a new beginning.

    I love to read the comics, and one of my favorites used to be “Calvin and Hobbes.” Calvin and Hobbes are talking about the new year when Calvin says, “I’m getting disillusioned with these new years. They don’t seem very new at all Each new year is just like the old year Here another year has ...read more

    Impetous, I’d say. Reckless, all the way. That was Peter to a fault. Come to think of it, we’re all a lot like him. As God did with him He will with us!

    Introduction I. "Hardened by the elements of life and polished by the daily grind" would of been the way his resume’ would of began! His name was Peter. Some who had the misfortune of meeting up with him on a bad day probably called him by some other name. A. Regardless though, God used this ...read more
