The Power of Redemption

Jun 3, 2018 1 Comment Post By:Michael Jones

Speakers: John & Lacy Benson

God called our pastor and family to us in December 1995. He served as the youth pastor, encouraging them to boldly live their lives for Christ.Not long after, he began serving as Senior Pastor. With humility and compassion, we believe we can effectively minister to the hearts of broken people. Our hope is that you too will encounter God’s love through His living, life changing word.

Luke 5:1
Matthew 16:15
Luke 22:31

Point 1: Peter’s Calling

Jesus calls Peter. Luke 5:1-11;

Jesus rebukes Peter.Matthew 16: 13-23

Point 2: Testing Time

Luke 22:31 ( Satan request to sift Peter) but Jesus prays for Peter that after his testing he would come back and strengthen the brothers. ( Luke 22:32)

Point 3: Redemption

Jesus restores Peter and asked him one of the most important questions that we too must answer : Do we love Him? No matter how far we have fallen God will continue to use us when we love him.

“My Calling”. As the message is going forth my first thought (s) are (1) One of the highest compliments I have ever received in my entire life is someone mentioned of my walk with the Lord, is that: “I LOVE GOD”. Man can say that from his heart, but God has to put it there. “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45). And (2) “But whom do you say I am? (Matt. 16:15-18). (NOTE: “A Testing Time”). I don’t think/ever remember a time when) I have ever understood God enough, and was, yet to be mad at Him).

John 21:3…(I go a’fishing).
God is the color of the rainbow???
I love Him because He first loved me.(I’m loving on Him).

(1 Peter 5: 1-11 We sin , God Loves.

Our sin + God’s Love= Redemptive Grace.
