The Good Heart

  • The Experience of Peter
    (#01)

    Date: Jan 25, 2004 | Passage: Mark 1:16-20

    What did the man closest to Jesus most of the time catch from the Master? And when Peter was unleashed by the power of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost and after - what did he say? And then at the end of his life as he "stirs us up by way of remembrance" what did he want us to never forget? That is the Gospel According to Peter. And guess what - it is simple, direct, and to the point. Just like he was.

  • The Gospel Explained by Peter
    (#02)

    Date: Feb 1, 2004 | Passage: 1 Peter 5:1-4

    Peter, when found by Jesus, had all the marks of a bully. He was loud, brash, direct, and hard to intimidate. But Jesus changed Peter. And from that moment on, whenever Peter was in Christ's Presence he was different. But sometimes in weakness, Peter would go back to what he was like before. Then Peter was given awesome spiritual responsibility. All that strong personality added to big influence and power make for a very dangerous combination. It is so good that Peter did not want to be anything but Christ's servant.

    Every day the one truth I cling to is the gracious forgiveness of our loving Savior. I know that however many times I fail - He forgives. I know that how every many times I fall - He restores. I know that how ever many times I sin - He cleanses, restores, and forgives. That is so encouraging, so refreshing, so hope filled.

    Date: Feb 22, 2004 | Passage: Mark 3:20-30

    Which was the greatest of all Christ's miracles? The answer is the one that never faded, never aged, never ended. It was the miracle unfaded by time, untouched by health, unaffected by circumstances. That miracle, the greatest miracle is the one that Jesus Christ is still doing in our midst today. It is the miracle that I have personally experienced. It is the miracle that most of us in this room have also experienced. It is the greatest of all Christ's miracles - the miracle of complete forgiveness.

    The most important question you will every be asked to answer is the question - "Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?" How is YOUR relationship with Jesus? Do you have one?

    (#15)

    Date: Jul 25, 2004 | Passage: John 15:1-8

    There is no heart God can't change. There is no life, no past, no sin, no stain, no failure, and no habit that God can't change if you will let Him. Are you letting the Lord change you? Are you responding? Is Jesus Christ controlling you more each day?

  • God is Faithful

    One of the greatest blessings of life is to know God. Knowing God means that He also knows us. God knowing us means He knows life hurts at times. When ever I go through hard times, sad times, dark times, discouraging times - I can testify with many of you that the greatest cure comes from looking at Jesus.
