It’s the bedrock of our faith, even though we have settled in and gotten used to it (sadly). It’s the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This powerful and supernatural event changed the course of history forever, and for Peter, it turned EVERYTHING around in his tortured soul. Come and find life-transforming hope in this message this … [Read more…]
Have you ever been caught in the middle of doing something that was very hurtful to someone, only to have them look you right in the eyes at the moment of your failure? This happened to Peter on the night he denied his relationship with Jesus. What was happening in both their minds at that … [Read more…]
Zeal for the Lord is a great thing IF it is what the Lord desires. So often we take our focus off of God and start moving in a direction that we authored ourselves. This can lead to disaster. Peter definitely displayed some misguided zeal in the Garden of Gethsemane the night that Jesus was … [Read more…]
When the 12 disciples started arguing about which of them was the greatest, it revealed a fatal character flaw that led cowardice and fear in the face of trial.

The prophet Zephaniah had a strong message against God’s people who took a carefree approach to the sin in their lives, and this indictment was clear in chapter 1. However, by the time we get to chapter 3 of this short, 3-chapter book (which we will do this week) we find that the Lord also … [Read more…]
When it comes to sin in our lives, God isn’t going to give us a hall pass. We need to get serious about the things in our lives that aren’t right, and seek the Lord to get things turned around. That’s the message that Zephaniah had for God’s people in his short prophecy. His message … [Read more…]

To the penitent sinner He is tender and merciful and caring, but to the unrighteous and unrepentant, He is vengeful and severe. God shows mercy to His people who seek Him, but reserves wrath for those who disobey … [Read more…]
