Peter And The Palms Series

The Courage Of Peter Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 9, 2016

There are times when we must rest in the unseen and believe the impossible by faith. Faith believes the impossible and trusts the Lord to meet our impossibilities. As we walk by faith on this level, great courage is also required.

Series: Walking by Faith # 5 The Courage of Peter Matthew 14:28-32 As we continue our study of walking by faith, I couldn’t imagine a series dealing with this subject without looking at the account we have read today.

Peter And Easter

Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 19, 2016

How did Peter greet the first Easter? His failure before the crucifixion may have kept him from fully appreciating what Easter meant. Using the clues given in the gospels and elsewhere, the sermon discusses how Jesus dealt with Peter's failure and fear.

Peter and Easter Luke 24:12 Though the women told and retold the story of their experience at the empty tomb, the Eleven and the other disciples didn't believe them. It was just too incredible. Yet, Peter seems to have decided something must have happened at the tomb and determined to find out ...read more
