Pastor Jeremy shares Wednesday in Glendive.
Matt 13:44 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like
treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid;
and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and
buys that field."
“Your destination will determine your journey”
Opportunity- A set of circumstances that make it
possible to do something.
Mark 5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came
behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.
Mark 10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of
Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of
David, have mercy on me!”
Numbers 13:31 But the men who had gone up with him
said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for
they are stronger than we.”
Peter:
1. Luke 5 - Peter had an opportunity to become a
fisher of men.
2. Matt 16:23 Peter had an opportunity to listen to
Jesus but he decided to open his mouth!!
3. Matt 26:69 Now Peter sat outside in the
courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying,
“You also were with Jesus of Galilee.” 70 But he
denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know
what you are saying.” 71 And when he had gone
out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said
to those who were there, “This fellow also was with
Jesus of Nazareth.” 72 But again he denied with an
oath, “I do not know the Man!” 73 And a little later
those who stood by came up and said to Peter,
“Surely you also are one of them, for your speech
betrays you.” 74 Then he began to curse and
swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter
remembered the word of Jesus who had said to
him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me
three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.
4. Acts 2 - Matt 28 make disciples of all nations
5. Acts 3 - Mark 16 believers lay hands on sick
Peter wasn't perfect navigating his journey, but he made
it. He took some bad opportunities, but he took a bunch
of great opportunities. He didn’t quit after he was
rebuked or after he denied Jesus 3 times.
