Peter Fails, But Grace Avails.

Contributed by John Colbert on Aug 4, 2015

The sermons that I have listed are 30 to 40 minute sermons. I have only listed the points and a couple of comments under each point of each sermon to give the preacher a remembrance which the Holy Spirit can lead on and speak through the man of God.

Peter fails, but Grace avails. Matthew 14:28 and Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. (Matthew 14:23-31) In these verses we see a beautiful word picture of Peter walking by faith and not by sight. Peter here is stepping out of his safe zone ...read more

Transformation Possible: The Transformation Of Peter Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Apr 26, 2016

The Apostle Peter experienced many transformations during his life, but the most profound transformation was from failure to faith. This sermon reflects on Peter's denial of Christ in the courtyard.

The Response To Jesus: Judas And Peter Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012

Last week we discussed the response to Jesus by Zacchaeus. His response was immediate. We talked last week about how our response to Jesus needs to be like this tax collector.

Epic Fail - Peter's Denial

Contributed by Seth Lawson on Mar 9, 2018
