Stewards Of God's Grace

Crowd Watchers

Contributed by Steve Severance on Mar 20, 2006

This sermon explores the need to follow God’s lead and not worry about what others think. I do this through the lense of Simon Peter. It also encoureges people to share their faith in a simple manner in their everyday life.

Simon Peter poked the last bite of fish into his mouth; these were miracle fish, provided by the Master Himself. His mind seemed to whirling trying to process the events of the past couple of weeks. It started with the triumphal entry. Peter had thrilled that everyone seemed to be ready to finally ...read more

Who Do You Say That I Am?

Contributed by Mark Baker on Jul 25, 2007

Our Lord has a way of cutting right through the fluff and getting straight to what is important. Peter was really set up to answer this question. It is the most important question any of us could ever be asked, as well.

A Surer Word Of Prophecy

Contributed by Joe Rowland on Aug 24, 2009
