    The Treachery Of A Traitor Text: John 13: 18-30 Intro: The very word traitor stirs up certain feelings of indignation in all of us.

     | 5,116 views

    Nothing can explain what happened to Saul of Tarsus short of God’s intervention in his life. Has that ever happened to you?

    The experience of Saul of Tarsus has to be the most ironic and dramatic change story in the New Testament. Here’s a man with a clean conscience, doing the unconscionable. Here’s a man with high religious standards performing terrorist acts. Here’s a man who hates Jesus, but wants to please ...read more

    Peter: How To Overcome Despair In Times Of Failure Series

    based on 84 ratings
     | 12,066 views

    Second in the series "Meet the Cast." To really understand how to overcome despair in times of failure, we must see the transformation in Peter’s life after Jesus conquered death and rose from the dead.

    Thank God He uses failures! I’m not sure where I would be if God did not use people who continually mess up. I believe there is man in scripture who can totally relate to this. It’s Peter. As I read the accounts of Peter while he faithfully followed Jesus, I also see a passionate ...read more

    A grace-filled sermon about Peter. We all mess up, even though we shouldn’t, and don’t have to, but we do. There’s still hope for us anyway.

    Luke 22:31-34; 54-62 – When a Believer Fails Today, as we continue to look at The Life of Jesus, we are looking at a familiar story from Scripture.
