This weekend I have a little project for us to think about and dig through. On Monday we're going to finish out this encounter between Jesus and his disciples, as Peter proclaims his faith that Jesus is God. Twice now how ever, Jesus has stated that while our fisherman is now Simon... he would one day be called “Peter” a...

Isn't it incredible to be allowed to follow His steps?!?

Isn't it an unfathomable privilege to be allowed to hear His voice, to be the recipient of His questions, and to be the object of His affection?

What an incredible Savior. What a wonderful God! Praise the Lord!

We're following Him. We're knowing Him more. We'll continue to see Him more and pray that others will be exposed to His undeniable reality and love through ...

Are you ready to go again? I hope that you are having a wonderful day so far. I hope and pray that you're moving forward everyday and following your Savior!

Today we're going to head back into Matthew 16:13-20. Will you take a moment to read it through again?

We're evaluating this week. It's so good to stop and focus on just what the information we have gleaned really means to us, isn't it. Yesterday we asked ourselves the same question that Jesus asked the disciples. “Who do people sa...

Good morning! I hope that your week is starting off well and that you're enjoying your day!

Have you spent time with the Lord in prayer today?!? How can we be praying for you?!?

Please let us know.

Today will be a shorter study.

[You're welcome.]

Please open up your Bible and [stop.] Thank the Lord for the incredible gift of His word that He IS actively teaching us and leading us to victory, joy, and abundant life with! What a wonderful Savior!

Ready? Please read Matthew 16:1...

Good morning to you! I hope you're doing well today! I hope that you're experiencing the joy of knowing Christ and of being His witness as we seek Him and follow Him together!

Are you following Him today? Have you spent time in prayer asking Him to lead? Please do.

Today we're going to continue forward. Please read through Matthew 15:29-29. This story sounds familiar, doesn't it? Same type of location (v.29), same crowds and needs looking for miracles (v.30-31), same problem of lack of fo...

Good morning beautiful friends of mine!!! You are such an encouragement and blessing to me... The Lord has continued to amaze me at the gift of people like you to study with!!!

Yesterday we had a great and challenging conversation about sharing the Lord. Is it just me, or was it mind-blowing to watch Peter walk across the water and realize that Jesus literally said “Come.” Peter followed. And then other men knelt before Jesus calling Him God?!?! That was so exciting to me! And it's real...

Good morning! How's your path lookin? I hope it's looking more and level to you every day. Actually, I take that back. I hope you're seeing the path less and less every day and fixing your eyes on the Savior that you follow! He's just so wonderful!

Let's keep digging into this awesome account of Simon walking on the water with Jesus! The two friends have walked on the water, Simon followed the Lord of circumstance and the circumstance was conquered. Then Simon looked at his circumstance, a...

A question for you today.

Is it true that sometimes when we set our resolve on following the Lord, we are taking a risk of something terrible happening to that which is most dear to us?

Maybe. Maybe not. These are things beyond our comprehension. But Simon sure did.

He choose to take a leap of faith, to defy circumstances and walk toward his Savior.

And it almost cost him is life.

Or did it?

Jesus had been watching His disciples in their boat where they wrestled against a sto...

Good morning to you my dear friends! I hope you are ready for another week that the Lord has made for a specific purpose, and is here to lead us through! Praise the Lord!

Today we're going to take a brief pause and leave poor Simon walking on the water for a day, before we return to dig further into the story. There is an issue that needs to be addressed.

The issue of proof.

And we all agree, that there is undeniable proof of God. We've seen it in each of our lives. THAT my friends i...

Isn't it exciting, after “traveling with Simon” for so long, to imagine him finally stepping out of the boat and walking on the water?!? He was a real man, just a simple ordinary fisherman, just a common person like you and I. And he got to walk on the water. And He got to see Jesus. That's. Just. Cool. :)

When we left Simon yesterday out on the lake, he had taken his eyes off of the Savior and taken a glimpse at his circumstances. Oops. He started to sink. Now he REALLY had reason to ...

What is your “Promised Land?” What is your goal? What is your vision? And where are you headed?

It's something that you really need to know.

Exodus records our mighty God freeing an entire nation of people and providing a “Promised Land” to which they were to journey through the desert. The road was terribly long, difficult, and altogether impossible if they had been alone. But they weren't alone. They were guided by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. God H...

Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise! Psalm 48:1 It is good to praise the Lord with you! It's good to be encouraged and confident in what we know about the Lord as we hear how others know it too! What an incredible privilege it is to be allowed to follow such a wonderful God!

Today I'm so excited as we approach a very significant and life changing event for Simon Peter. After witnessing the miraculous feeding of the 5,000, after witnessing so many offerings of faith, after experien...
