The 1015 - Fishers of Men

Simon Peter was one of Jesus' first disciples. Over the course of the gospels, the book of Acts, and in two letters written by him, we see Peter be transformed from a brash and impulsive fisherman to a boldly confident follower of Jesus. Peter's two letters are filled with encouraging words to equip the church to be equally bold and confident as they grow in their relationships with God and one another.

This Sunday, we'll be introduced to the person of Peter, reading through various gospel stories, the book of Acts, and other New Testament letters to learn his story.

The 1015 - Go

“The gospel message—that Jesus is the long-promised King and the much-needed Savior—did not conclude with Paul in Rome, nor when it arrived at your doorstep. God is still telling it, and His people are still called to share it, unhindered”- Alistair Begg.

The 1015 - Give/Serve

“There are people who would do great acts; but because they wait for great opportunities, life passes, and the acts of love are not done at all. Observe, this considerateness of Christ was shown in little things. And such are the parts of human life. Opportunities for doing greatly seldom occur—life is made up of infinitesimals” - FW Robertson in his sermon, “The New Commandment of Love.”

The 1015 - Gather

“…the church is God’s. It belongs to God as the one who both called it into being (called “us” to faith) and sustains it. It is not a voluntary association, composed of those who have decided to affiliate with others for self-improvement or like belief or fellowship or even service, but a gathering of those ‘called to be holy’ (Romans 1:7).”- Beverly Gaventa

The 1015 - Love

Christians can often be recognized for things outside of our control, but through Jesus’ words and through the examples of his followers, we can see that He wants us to be recognized for so much more.

The 1015 - Intercessor for our Sins

Jesus came for the purpose of interceding for our sins and in doing so brings justice, restores his people to God and comforts the weary.

The 1015 - Comforter of the Weary

God's words provided wisdom and comfort to Jesus, allowing him to fulfill his mission and purpose of bringing justice, restoring Israel, and interceding to God on our behalf.

The 1015 - Commissioned to Restore Israel

Jesus was commissioned to restore Israel; this work begins on the cross and continues as those he has restored join in the work of restoration.

The 1015 - Chosen to Bring Justice

This week, we're talking about the way Jesus was chosen to bring justice; this justice is a spiritual freedom that not only frees us from the requirements of the law but provides hope and new life to all who believe in him.

The 1015 - Epilogue

The Gospel (Good News) of Jesus is available to all people. Once included in this salvation, we are called to live on mission together as his body under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
