    Keeping Warm At The Enemy's Fire Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 19, 2004
    based on 38 ratings
     | 18,841 views

    When we see an apparently strong Christian face a spiritual defeat, we tend to think, "I would have expected that to happen to anyone but him." Peter’s denial while keeping warm at the enemy’s fire creates a similar surprise.

    Title: Keeping Warm at the Enemy’s Fire Text: "Peter followed at a distance. But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them" (Luke 22:54-55 NIV).

Jesus likely had been with His 12 Disciples for about 2 years and as we will soon note that Jesus was beginning to teach about ...read more

    Jesus' call to us is service (Luke 17:11-19)

    Jesus is on the way to Jerusalem. He will be betrayed, tortured, abandoned and murdered. He’s going willingly, in the full knowledge of what will happen to him.
