Walk With Christ

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 4, 2011

In the calling of Peter, Andrew, James and John to follow Jesus we see a lesson for all who would follow Him that 1) A Disciple shows Diligence (Matthew 4:18–20) and 2) A Disciple shows Determination (Matthew 4:21–22)

Receiving Your Miracle

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Sep 5, 2011

We live in a world today that is desperate for something real...something that is available to ordinary people just like me and you. Peter and John stood before the most skeptical, anti-Christian crowd possible...are those people recognized them as ordina

RECEIVING YOUR MIRACLE 1 SAMUEL 1:17 For several weeks we've been looking at the subject of miracles...and I had planned on wrapping it up last week.

Forward In Faith: Free From Sin, Not Free To Sin Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 14, 2014

‘stand firm’ in the freedom which Christ brings, and Christ alone brings. Do not go back into the old way of trying to earn or win God’s favour by obedience to the Law. (1 Peter 1 v18-19)

This morning I want us to think about freedom, what we have freedom from and what we have the freedom to do. Christians often talk about something we refer to as the Gospel, the Gospel simply means Good News or glad tidings. And one of the best ways we can explain the Good News about Jesus ...read more

The Church Of Saint Who Series

Contributed by Timothy Andrew Stephens on Jul 21, 2011

Peter calls the church Living Stones built on the foundation of Christ Jesus alone. We are both a building and a body. As a body we are living cells built upon the DNA (Divine Nature Attributes) of Jesus. We are called to unity and love for one another

“The Church of Saint Who” PRAYER FOR CHURCH BODY Now as we are praying. I want to ask us also to pray for our church. Pray that we as a people will learn to love God with all our hearts. Lord make us desperate for You. Pray that each of us will learn to love one another as Christ ...read more

Redeeming Our Denials

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 26, 2011

There is a bit of Peter in all of us. We are weak in the face of temptation. We feel like failures. Some people even keep a spiritual scorecard reminding them that they struck out. Jesus is willing to forgive our failures and call us into His service. A

It's God's Grace That Goes To Bat For Us.

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jul 27, 2012

As long as mankind has been around there has never been an illustration or definition of God's grace that stays in the heart until it takes root and begins to grow. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

It's God's Grace that goes to bat for us. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Heard about a man having a dream one night that he and the Lord was watching a baseball game. The Lord's ...read more

Total Forgiveness Series

Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 9, 2016

Another interpretation of Peter's Vision, about clean and unclean. What if this means that you and I are now considered clean and washed and totally forgiven? I believe it does! God says it. I believe it! Now there is nothing between us and God!

Total Forgiveness While reading about Peter's vision, in Acts 10 recently, I received a new insight into how God looks at our Total Forgiveness. Peter is praying, up on a housetop, when he falls into a trance. He sees a “sheet” filled with “all kinds of wild beasts, ...read more

A Mountain Top Experience

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 15, 2023

The Supreme Virtue Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Paul made it clear in I Cor. 13 that he could have all gifts and powers that anyone could ever hope to have, but if he lacked love he would be nothing. Peter agrees with Paul, and that is why he puts love at the top.

Pitiram Sorokin in his book The Ways And Power Of Love tells of how in 1918 he was hunted down by the Communist Government of Russia. He was imprisoned and condemned to death. Everyday he expected to be shot as he witnessed the shootings of his friends and fellow prisoners. For 4 years he ...read more

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 10, 2022

Simon magus, also known as Simon the Sorcerer or the Magician, was a religious figure whose confrontation with Peter is recorded in Acts 8:9–24. The act of simony, or paying for the position, is named after Simon, who tried to buy his way into the power of the Apostles.

Stay Vigilant

Contributed by Masimba Murisa on Aug 29, 2025

As we navigate life as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we encounter storms and difficulties. The Apostle Peter warns us to stay vigilant or careful, alert as we have an adversary the devil who does not want to see us win and triumph in life.

The devil is on assignment to take us out and derail our lives. Most believers live their Christian lives not realizing that we have an adversary who is on assignment to steal, kill and destroy their lives according to (John 10:10) -When trouble comes which it will do at some point in our lives, ...read more

Give Us This Day, Part 2 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jan 11, 2026

John unpacks the marvelous miracle of Jesus walking on the water from a totally different perspective than what Matthew does (who includes Peter also walking on the water). Why did one disciple include this and why does another leave it out?
