Don't be disilluioned or give up the faith. Jesus will always be there in our hour of need. Don't be so super spiritual that you retreat away from the realities of daily life.

When Paul the Vicar told me what passage I was to preach on, at first glance I though it could be an early night and I’ll get home to see the start of Heartbeat!

Sinful But Called

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 5, 2025

The power of God’s word, spoken to Peter and the others by the very Word of God, Son of the Father, was enough to kick in the adrenaline and motivate the fishermen to fish longer in the worst time of day in the part of the lake with the worst prospects.

Fifth Sunday in Course 2025 The first thing that strikes me as I read today’s Gospel is that Peter and his fishing crew had been working all night and then had cleaned their nets. These professionals had just worked at least ten hours and were ready to go home. Jesus came along with hundreds of ...read more

We have been looking at twelve men that Jesus selected to be a part of his team, to be a part of his staff, to be a part of those that were ...read more

Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 14, 2014

The rejection of Jesus comes (painfully) from those who represent God (teachers, elders, etc.). This presents us with a challenge: Do we lead people to like us or to worship God? If it's all about Him, then we must be willing to give everything to Him!

Who do you say Jesus is? Mark 8:27-33 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - IMP: ...read more

"Do You Love Me?” (The Interests Of Jesus Resurrected.)

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Apr 8, 2018

The account of Jesus' personal encounter and conversation with Peter after His resurrection reveals His interest in dealing with Peter, but also with us for whom He died. For Peter and us to love Him is the most important matter to Jesus.

John 21:15-17 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him a ...read more

Who Do You Say Jesus Is?

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Sep 2, 2017

Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom. In similar fashion, Jesus grants me the joy of sharing the Gospel as He desires, guides and allows. You have the same opportunity.

What exactly do you believe about Jesus? In my seminary days, our first semester in Systematic Theology dealt with that question. Our professor described Jesus as “the proleptic, salvific, hidden appearance of the eschatological kingdom of God”. Did you get that? Take notes; there might be a test ...read more

When Peter Got Hungry

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 5, 2015

God went to great lengths to bring together Cornelius and Peter. On this meeting hinged the salvation of all the world. With the “keys” of his Apostolic ministry, Peter opened the gates, not realizing that billions of people would enter.

A "persian Flaw": How Peter (And The Rest Of Us) Need To Learn To Forgive Ourselves

Contributed by Jessica Linde on Aug 29, 2024

Looking at the example of Peter and his denial of Jesus, this sermon's ultimate message is that God has long since already forgiven us of our mistakes, so now it's time that we forgive ourselves.

When I was conversing with colleagues earlier this week about the theme of today’s service, I was reminded of an idiom that we have in the English language: for something to be a “Persian flaw”. Have any of you heard this idiom before? Right… okay. A couple of you. It’s one that isn’t as common ...read more
