All four gospels record Peter's failure when he denied knowing Jesus as Jesus was on his way to crucifixion. At that moment, Jesus was seen as a "liability" and Peter wanted to save his own skin. What makes it worse, peter had promised Jesus that he would never abandon him even if all the other disciples did! Have you ever made a promise to God that you didn't or couldn't keep? Have you ever denied knowing God or downplayed being a Christian because you were too embarrassed or too ashamed? Take heart from John 21 as Pastor Gary teaches about the restoration of Peter in today's teaching entitled, "Do you love me?"

Just prior to His crucifixion, Jesus spends some private time with His disciples in the Upper Room and on a walk to the Mt. of Olives. During these final hours, Jesus expresses some timeless truth about heaven-how He is going there soon and how we can join Him there later. He makes some exclusive truth claims that contradict modern thought and other world religions. But, truth by definition is exclusive. Join Pastor Gary Hamrick in today's study from John 14 in a teaching entitled, "Parting Promises".

An in-depth study of 1 Timothy 4.

Find out what God's grace is all about in today's study from John 8-how we need it for ourselves, and how we need to offer it to others

An in-depth study of 1 Timothy 3.

Have you ever known someone who is always striving for the next thing that might bring satisfaction? Just like that old Waylon Jennings' song, there are too many people "looking for love in all the wrong places". Or maybe it's not love, but it's the search for fame or money or success or pleasure. The world promises many things, but delivers very few. Listen to today's study from John 4-6 as Pastor Gary Hamrick focuses on what Jesus says about finding real satisfaction.

An in-depth study of 1 Timothy 2.

Strange as it may sound, the Bible teaches that if we are born once we will die twice, but if we are born twice we will die once! Pastor Gary explains this from Jesus' conversation with the Pharisee, Nicodemus. What exactly does it mean to be "born again"? Find out in today's study from John 3.
