Good Morning!

Today brings the end of our study... and I sure will miss discussing Scripture with you! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey... and especially for being a part of our first session of Resolved. This will always be very special to me! Please do let me know if you have any suggestions or input, and please keep in touch! I would call it an honor at any time to be able to help you in any way possible... and I am also just so thankful for your friendship and partnershi...

Good morning! Only two more days to study with you, can't believe we're already there! We're going l to mostly finish out this study with discussion, so please dive in and let's finish well! Your discussion has been such an encouragement and challenge to me throughout the study, and I'm so thankful for you!

Let's dig right back into the letters of Peter today! I'd like to point out before we begin who Simon Peter at this point had become. He preached sermons, and thousands were saved. He...

Good morning!

We're going to spend the last 3 days of this study wrapping things up and discussing some of Peter's letters to us in the New Testament. Peter had a reason for writing, and he had an end in sight... and I'd like for us to start there and work backwards, shall we? Please read 2 Peter 1:13-15. Peter was living daily with the knowledge that he would lose his life for the sake of Christ. And he did not waver. He was resolved. And Peter certainly had to count the cost. We know that...

Today, will you join me in writing or renewing your personal commitment as to just what it is... that you're resolved to do?

Several months ago, the Lord very strongly urged me to do this, and it has been one of the most helping and motivating things I have ever done. I wrote down what I know... and what I'm committed to live... and then I shared it. I've pushed myself to share it whenever I have the opportunity but I'm going to be honest... sharing It sometimes makes me squirm. I know that...

Good morning! Are you ready to move forward?!?

I'd like to begin today with a quick peek at a part of the passages from yesterday, to mention something that I find endlessly amazing about our God. Ready? Please read Acts 4:1-14. I love the scene that this passage introduces. Peter and John up against an angry crowd... and angry in those days implied far more terrible consequences than we face on a daily basis. Turning this particular crowd against you could mean imprisonment, stoning, and i...

Good morning to you! I hope you're doing well today! I really enjoyed studying with you the difference in the disciples as they were plunged into a new chapter in their ministry and relationship with Jesus.

Today, let's talk about [forward motion]... shall we?

The disciples did not know the time or dates on which things were to happen, nor were their actions allowed to determine a time line (Acts 1:7).

Yesterday we talked about the change in the disciples, and as I read through the beginni...

Good morning!

Have you traveled through yesterdays' discussion lead as Peter and the disciples transition to ministry as Jesus physical walk on earth had come to an end? I hope that you were able to travel back to Jerusalem and like Jesus and the disciples, experience resurrection after pain... and freedom from sin that can no longer punish you. That's what a clear conscience and fresh slate bring, and I'm so thankful that we are given that opportunity!

It struck me today that any and every...

Good morning again to you my friends! I hope you're doing well! Have you had some coffee? (Always helps...) and some time in prayer with our Father (essential.) No matter what you face today... that'll get you on the right foot!

I'm so excited to finish off this study with Peter's journey as he continues to follow Christ in the book of Acts. Obviously we could go on for months studying his ministry (which I wouldn't mind one bit!!!) but we're just going to have time to study a few things....

Good morning!

Ready to dig in again? We're finishing Peter's walk through the gospels today, and though I think we could go on for quite some time I believe the study will wrap up again by Thanksgiving. I'm so grateful for your faithfulness!

Please make sure you've spent some time in prayer with your Father, and then read John 21:1-14. Isn't it just beautiful to picture? Simon just didn't know what to do with himself... he was back in his boat and his friends were there with him. Suddenl...

 LET'S TALK ABOUT A RESURRECTION!!!!

Wow. Just... stop. Will you take a moment to thank Jesus for loving you enough to die for you?!?! Will you praise Him that even death could not stop Him?!? Are you aware of who you're following today?!?

Will you praise God that this same Jesus who will surely lead you to Jerusalem will lead you to eternal life as well, and that He paid the price with His own life?!?

Will you kneel for a moment in the quietness of … wherever you are... to acknowledge ...

 Good morning . I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you are taking physical, tangible steps to follow the Lord closely this week!

Friday we watched Peter [follow Jesus at a distance] in Luke 22:54. We discussed the fact that following Jesus at a distance always leads to some form of denial, and that's certainly what happened to Peter. He denied Jesus, not to a soldier, not to a raging crowd, but to a simple servant girl. And the passage ends with Peter weeping bitterly.

Please read...

 We've come to another Friday my friends! I hope that you've had a wonderful week and a great weekend to look forward to! Please let me know at any time if I can serve you in any way!

The verses that we read yesterday written by Peter confirmed the conclusions of hindsight. Focus in imperative. Fixing your eyes on Jesus is the only way to walk on the water. And the physical evidence of fixed eyes is prayer. It is impossible to follow Jesus without fixed eyes and communication. Period.

Good morning! Thank you so much in your perseverance through this study! I've enjoyed it thoroughly, we'll wrap it up in a few short weeks. I'm so thankful for each one of you.

Aren't you glad to be able to follow an interceding Savior today? I sure am. Let's follow Jesus and the disciples as they leave the Last Supper. Please read Mark 14:32-42.

Jesus knew what was coming, He knew what He had to do. He didn't hide to be captured …. He walked straight through Jerusalem, leading His dea...

 Let's join Jesus and his closest friends once again, as they are gathered around a table for their last supper together before the ultimate suffering. Jesus has just expressed amazing love as He knelt down and washed His disciples feet. And now His love will continue to be revealed as Jesus gazes into the eyes of His friends who would soon deny Him, and He explains, prepares, and shepherds them. Isn't His kindness absolutely mind-blowing?

Please read John 13:18-30.

Talk about rockin' the...

Well we've arrived in Jerusalem. This is a painful part of the journey to walk through with Peter, and yet at the same time it was the time at which salvation was possible, at which Jesus showed the full extent of His love. So please determine to be resolved. Let's make it personal. Let's follow the Lord through our studies by seeking Him in prayer. And then...

Please read John 13:1-17.

As we've mentioned earlier in this study, The 5.2 Project is a life-style of worship, based on the concep...

 Good morning! I hope that you week gets off to a wonderful start! Are you resolved? Ready to move forward?!?! Isn't God good to always be there, waiting to lead us!?!

As we begin to draw near the end of Jesus earthly ministry, He and the disciples are almost always on the road. And very often they are on the same road... they weren't wandering aimlessly, there was a clear destination.

Please read Matthew 20:17 and Matthew 21:1. Where were they heading?

Jerusalem. Always... Jerusalem.

Let's move on forward and follow! Be encouraged today. God is leading you somewhere... somewhere greater than our minds can conceive. He's leading us further into the knowledge of Himself.

And it is... [greater than our minds can conceive.] Are you resolved?

Please read Matthew 17:1-13

We watched Peter's mountain-top experience and declaration of the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and followed his quick descent and rebuke...

Good morning! I hope you're doing well!

Yesterday we asked a tough question.

I'm simply going to draw from the previous stories we've studied to try to find some direction on whether or not it's acceptable to question God. The verses mentioned lead me to believe that doubt... and unbelief … may actually be different things afterall... and doubt may be the worse option which is not what I expected. There are 3 factors that need to be weighed and 3 differences that need to be noticed. Let...

Good morning my friends! Are you ready to dig into a rock?!? Here we go! Here's a list of information for you. Why don't you take a moment to stop and pray, and follow the Lord as you wade through knowledge... ask Him to make it real to you and help you to know it!

Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which translated is Peter/Rock). John 1:42

- Jesus identified who Simon was (drawing attention to his family etc.) and for the first time ...

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Today we're going to pause. Again. :)

I'm unsure about whether or not you've had opportunity to dig, and so we'll pause for one more day. But that's all. :) Because I'm busting to tell you what I've learned. :)

If you'd rather not jump into the discussion... [THAT'S OK!!! OK?!?] :) I know we have some who really like some diggin' in this session...... and so we pause!

Please re-read Matthew 16:13-20 and the discussion guide from Friday...
