Peter deeply loved Jesus and boldly declared his willingness to lay down his life for Him—but Jesus knew Peter's heart better than Peter did. In this passage, we see Peter's confusion, pride, and eventual denial, but most importantly, we see Jesus' grace. When we focus on our own strength, we will fall. But when we rest in Christ's strength and His commitment to us, we find hope. Join us as we discover how Jesus lovingly restores us even when we fail Him.
This Sunday, we pause our series in John's Gospel to focus on one of Christ's most gracious gifts to His church: baptism. Too often, baptism is surrounded by debate—how much water, who should receive it, and when—but the heart of baptism is not controversy, it's Christ. Come and be reminded of what it means to be marked by the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and how to live as those set apart for His glory.
When Judas slipped out into the night to betray Jesus, a deep darkness settled over Jerusalem. Yet at that very moment, Jesus spoke of glory. How could betrayal, suffering, and a Roman cross reveal the brilliance of God's glory? In this passage we'll behold the ways God's glory shines brightest at Calvary. Come and see how the darkest night became the brightest dawn.
