baptist, bible, church, preaching, scripture, sermon

This week, we study Peter and learn that even through failure, it's not fatal in our walk with Jesus. As we read the accounts in Matthew and Luke, we see that Peter was both a rock of spiritual strength, and a traitor when things got too real. In our own lives, we can take small steps toward denying Jesus just as Peter did if we aren’t careful.

John | The Twelve

Episode  |  February 14th, 2021  |  44 mins 7 secs

baptist, bible, church, preaching, scripture, sermon

We look at John this week as we continue to study the twelve who changed the world. We learn that truth without love is nothing more that brutality and divisiveness and it will never represent the heart of Jesus. We need to have absolute love for people when sharing the absolute truth with them.

As we dive deeper into the twelve who changed the world, we take a close look at Philip. Maybe not as renown as some of the other disciples, he always wanted to have the answer for every problem. In his encounter with Jesus, he realized that sometimes, we don’t need all the answers.

The Calling of the Ordinary | The Twelve | Matt Petty | Burnt Hickory

The disciples are not biblical heroes. They didn't have superpowers. They were twelve ordinary men who followed an extraordinary Jesus. This is a comforting thought, since it gives us hope that we don't have to be perfect or super in God's eyes to make an impact in the world. All we have to do is be obedient. Pastor Matt begins the series "The Twelve" and we look through scripture to see what attributes the disciples held, and what Jesus expects from us as Christians carrying His hope to the world.

The Challenge | Thomas Hammond | Burnt Hickory

Guest speaker Thomas Hammond from the Georgia Baptist Mission Board walks us through what Peter and John experienced on the way into the temple. Just as they stop and respond to a lame man, we see what our response should be for someone in need.

As we celebrate the sanctity of life Sunday today, we look into scripture and see that God loves life. We see in John 1 and 14, Jesus is life, the author of life, and creator of life. In Genesis 2 we understand that we are His workmanship. And finally in Genesis 1, we see that we bear His image.
