    Peter has good intentions, but they are not in agreement with God's ultimate plan. We must covenant to deny ourselves and align ourselves to God's will and ways.

    WE MAY HAVE HEARD THIS FAMILIAR SAYING: “THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.” AN INTENTION IS SIMPLY A PLAN OR GOAL WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH. IRONICALLY, INTENTIONS DON’T ACHIEVE ANYTHING. THEY ARE MERELY IDEAS AND DREAMS OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE’D LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THE ...read more

    Peter thought he knew Jesus' direction. He did not. Do you know your life direction? Ask the LORD.

    Peter thought that he knew what the LORD’s plan was for the restoration of Israel. When Yeshua said that he would die at the hands of the Hebraic leadership, Peter was compelled to say, “not going to happen.” How many people today believe that they know what the LORD’s plan is?

    Seven Reasons Why The Resurrection Of Christ Is So Important

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Apr 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 901 views

    The resurrection is not only a fundamental part of the Gospel, but it is the glue that holds every part of the Gospel together. Without it, Christians are believing in vain and are without hope.

    Opening: Unlike other religions, Christianity is based on Christ Jesus: His incarnation to be a Man, His life and teachings, His death and resurrection, His ascension to heaven, and His second coming.  Christ is the center of Christianity. No Christ, no Christians, or no Christ’s followers! ...read more
