Sermons on Peter Not The Builder:

The Final Post Resurrection Appearance In John's Gospel Series

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Apr 24, 2020

Peter had failed Jesus by denying him 3 times and Jesus forgives him by allowing him to negate each of the three denials. We will fail but when we come to Jesus he will restore us

Jn 21:1-19 Introduction As I mentioned last Sunday and also on Easter Sunday, John records only four of the Post Resurrection appearances of Jesus. I think his reason for doing so is that the aim of his book is to awaken faith – and not to be - JUST another historical record of the times of ...read more

This Changes Everything

Contributed by Brady Boyd on Apr 18, 2019

Peter was one of the disciples. Why was he singled out?

I Am Only Human PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 26, 2023

This sermon's main point is that God, in His love for us, accepts our human strengths and weaknesses and is always ready to guide us through our triumphs and trials, as exemplified in Matthew 14:22-23.

Good morning, family! We often hear that God made us in His image. But have you ever stopped to consider what that really means? Paul writes in Ephesians 4:24 and Colossians 3:10 that what it means to be made in the image of God is that we were originally made in knowledge, righteousness, and ...read more

Matthew 8:14-15 - Lasagne Anyone? And By The Way, Who Was Peter’s Wife? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 24, 2010

In order to have a mother-in-law, Peter was obviously married, but we don’t even know her name, and it was his mother-in-law who got up after being healed by Jesus to prepare the meal, not Peter’s wife.

Matthew 8:14-15 - LASAGNE ANYONE? AND BY THE WAY, WHO WAS PETER’S WIFE? My youngest grandson has some teeth coming through and he has a high temperature and feels miserable most of the day. He has his first birthday party on Saturday, and so we are praying for him to be well. Jesus is good with ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (3 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In Acts 9, we read of the exciting conversion of the Apostle Paul as he traveled to Damascus to persecute the New Testament Christians.

After the Lord miraculous converted Paul, the Lord told him to go into the city and he would be told what he was to do. The apostle Peter's conversion was unusual as well. The Lord first met him by the sea of Galilee. Look Matthew 4:18, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two ...read more

Destroy This Temple, Let Jesus Build It Up

Contributed by Prakash Jacob on Dec 23, 2018

When we go through the process of being destroyed or broken, we have this promise of Jesus Christ that He will build it up in three days!

John 2:19 Destroy this temple, and I will rise it up in three days. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 This portion says do not destroy the temple of god. If any man destroys the temple of god, God will destroy him. One side God says He will destroy the temple. 1Cori3:17. On the other side Jesus asking ...read more

Mission Festival Sermon: Through the power of the Cross and Resurrection, we are invited to be both builders and spiritual stones in the Spiritual Temple being built by God.

I want to talk with you today about building, because you see, we’re builders. From the time we’re born, we start building. As babies, we spend all our energy and effort building bodies and vocabularies. As young adults, we build our knowledge and our skill. We build relationships with others. ...read more

Peter's Mother-In-Law Is Healed Series

Contributed by Peter Mclewin on Mar 14, 2002

Travel with me to Peter’s mother-in-law’s home in Capernaum, a place of miracles and rest for Jesus.

There are two great stories in the Bible about mothers-in-law. In the Old Testament we read about Ruth’s mother-in-law, Naomi. In the New Testament we read about Peter’s mother-in-law, laid up with a high fever. Both of these ladies were great women of faith. This miracle gives a rare glimpse ...read more

At Least Peter Got Out Of The Boat...

Contributed by Charles Mccall on Jul 27, 2002

Don’t crtitize Peter too much. At least he did get out of the boat. But what about the 11 other disciples who stayed on the boat?

Matthew 14:22-31 Topic: At least Peter did get out of the boat… When we think about Peter walking on water with Jesus, we usually think what could have happen if Peter did not take his eyes off of Jesus. As long Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was able to walk on water. But when he began to ...read more

Introduction to 1 Peter

1st Peter - Suffering INTRODUCTION: 1 Peter was written at a time when it was extremely dangerous to declare one’s personal faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Introduction to 2 Peter

2 Peter - Caution INTRODUCTION: 2 Peter along with 1, 2, 3 John and Jude were all written to address the very real danger of false doctrine and false teachers in the Church.

"Why John Did Outrun Peter"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 11, 2005

When John was running, the text indicates he was running with the mindset of “He loves me, he loves me, he loves me.”

Title of the Message: “Why John outran Peter?” John records that he outran Peter to the empty tomb? This message is speculation, but I believe that the trues are very acurate. In context John records that he is, “The disciple whom Jesus loved.” When Peter was running to the tomb, no ...read more

Peter - Man Of Bold And Courageous Faith

Contributed by Ray Ellis on Jul 13, 2003

In the lives of the Apostles we see them going thorugh some of the same challenges and experiences we go thorugh. Simon Peter denied Jesus before Pentecost but after Pentecost he demonstrated the power of the risen Lord in his life and witness.

Peter – Man of Bold & Courageous Faith John 1:35-42 As we study the life and ministry of the 12 Apostles we see how extra ordinary they are and at the same time how ordinary they are. The twelve Apostles came from various backgrounds. Most were blue color workers laboring as fishermen (James, ...read more
