#listentopete [March 8, 2020] Doug Cornelius
Drank wine that came from water
Saw Jesus tear up the temple
1 of 12 who did not leave Jesus – “Where would we go? You are the Holy One”
Offended by Mrs. Zebedee over James and John
Spent 2 days with Samaritan believers
Saw Jesus defend and freed a women convicted of adultery
Directed to pay taxes to the government by Jesus
Saw Jesus walk on water
Walked on the sea…for a moment
Saw Jesus heal a crippled man to walking
By this, people will know you are my disciples if you love one another
Saw Jesus cry…and then command his friend to be freed from Death
Watched his little brother find the 2 fish and 5 loaves
Collected the scraps from 5000 people
Asked to have his whole body cleaned by Jesus
Witnessed the triumphant entry…and the cruel march to Golgotha
Cut off an enemy’s ear only to have Jesus heal it
Swearing at people, denied he was a follower of Christ 3 times
Saw Jesus crucified by the government
First man to enter THE tomb
Swam the length of a football field to see his friend, Jesus
Was sorrowful when Jesus asked him 3 times, “Peter do you love me?”
Led he replacement of Judas so his Allotment of Ministry would be fulfilled
Preached 3000 people to Christ on Pentecost
Escaped prison….twice
Led 5000 people to Christ through the living word of God
Instituted the church action of “deconism” – servers of the church
Convicted Ananias and Saphira… to death
Healed 2 crippled men
Saw friends of Dorcas cry … and then prayed Dorcas to be freed from Death
Led Cornelius and friends to Christ and saw the Holy Spirit come on them
Championed gentiles to be freed from Jewish custom,
only avoid practices that defile us
Those who read First Peter are encouraged to lift their eyes from present problems and trials and behold the vistas provided by an eternal perspective.
-Roger M. Raymer
1 Peter 1:13-17 ESV
1 Peter 1:22-23 ESV
1 Peter 2:13-17 ESV
1 Peter 3:14-16 ESV
We see Jesus better, more clearly, through the lens of suffering
and our shadow is thrown longer the closer we are to His bright light
1 Peter 4:7-11 ESV
1 Peter 5:1-11 ESV
He who has THE DOMINION will:
CALL you
RESTORE you
CONFIRM you
STRENGTHEN you
ESTABLISH you
CROWN you
