This was not only a turning-point for the Jews and the Gentiles of that generation. There is a message for every generation. There can be a turning point for us today – turning beyond the church, turning toward the world.

Despondent and Dejected: Would Peter’s Life Become a Disaster?
As believers we have all failed Christ at one time or another. Through His grace and mercy we are forgiven and can continue His plan for our life.
“FEAR BREAKS, FAITH MAKES”
We need to remember that our battles aren’t against people who tick us off or do hurtful things to us, but rather our battles are against the forces that are behind these actions.
What I Heard In Church: One of the most helpful teachings ever, about the Trinity
God is love. He loved us first. The true Christ follower loves God, and loves those around him or her.
Why Peter? Was There Something Special About Peter?
God is calling us to live in the power of Christ’s resurrection. He’s calling us to move out of the old life and into the new life. He’s calling us to continue in the new life. He’s calling us to grow in the new life.
Treating the Symptom, Not the Sin
Teaching our kids manners is no solution to the problem of human depravity. Punishment won’t solve the problem, either. In fact, parents who concentrate all their energies on correcting external behavior may be doing little more than training hypocrites.
A Compelling Truth About satan’s Authority
Instead of believers raging over such issues as the embrace of socialism and the acceptance of all things transgender – we should understand that these things exist because “the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.”
Faith Nutrients
Is your faith head faith, or, is it heart faith? Does your faith poduce godly fruit? If you are not absorbing the nutrients from the word to grow in faith, you are not providing nourishment for the soul of others.
The Wonder of God’s Patience
We grieve the Holy Spirit when we forsake His guidance; we diminish the glory of Jesus when we demean and ridicule one another — we forget from where we receive our righteousness. Yet, he puts up with us because his love is patient!
Thoughtless Words Create Tongues of Fire!
Peter is a warning to us: “the tongue is a fire”. Peter was speaking out his own ideas. He should have been listening to the Word of the Lord.
HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU
When we first come to faith in Jesus Christ, God begins the supernatural work of regeneration. His presence, through the indwelling Holy Spirit, causes us to increase in Christ-likeness and maturity. We are transformed as we walk with God, abide in Christ, and are filled with the Holy Spirit.
WHICH WAY DO I GO LORD?
The difficulty in knowing what the Lord wants for us is in the area of His specific will. The specifics of what to do, where to go, and what to choose can really be a challenge. God wants us to know His will, so we can do His will and please Him in the process.
