This Sunday

As we continue to look at the testimonies of others, we recognize that our stories have three parts. There is the “before,”, the “encounter,”and the “after.” What we know to be true is that an encounter with Jesus doesn’t stop when that immediate situation has conclued. No, an encounter with Christ is meant to transform and sanctify the believer, something that takes time. Today we’ll take a look at the life of Peter and explore how an encounter with Christ changed him forever. Peter was a rough fisherman with a quick temper. He learned from Jesus, forgot what he learned, reapplied what he learned and, well, he still got it wrong. In all of that God had a plan and a purpose for Peter’s life, just as he had for each one of us. How have you been transformed by God? How can you see his work in your story? Peter was an imperfect person but he always returned to the voice of the Master and that’s something we can all learn from.
