Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 9, 2022

In this account, Jesus’ disciples neither totally believed nor totally disbelieved His power to rescue them. We can’t ride the fence. We must keep our eyes fixed only on Jesus before we can expect to see Him work in our life.

Os Guinness tells us in his book In Two Minds, “To believe is to be ‘in one mind’ about accepting something as true; to disbelieve is to be ‘in one mind’ about rejecting it. To doubt is to waver between the two, to believe and disbelieve at once and so be ‘in two minds’.”(1) This morning we are ...read more

What would it be like to meet Jesus? The Bible gives us an insight by exposing us to those who knew Him best. We look at 6 ways Jesus made known to Peter: through his brother, at Peter's house, in Peter's boat, his fishing rod, his sword, & his heart.
