    Prayer-Works Series

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,496 views

    We know more about the life of Peter than any other disciple which means we can trace his growth as a disciple. In a three section sermon we will see how Jesus helps His impulsive disciple to persevere, even when they fail.

    We drift away from God when we began to doubt God’s good intentions and believe that we need something more to be happy.

    [I’ve taken some pointers in this sermon from Chapter 5 ’Drifting Away from God’ in Joseph Stowell’s book RADICAL RELIANCE.] You see, God did not hide from us. Man was the first to hide from God. • Man did not seek God. It was God who first sought man out. DRIFTING AWAY Tom cannot swim but ...read more
