There are many moments in the life of Peter from which we can learn some great lessons.  Perhaps one of the greatest comes in one of his final moments with his rabbi.

(John 21:1-17, John 1:40-42, Luke 4:38, Luke 5:1-11, Mark 5:35+, Matt 14:22-33, Matt 17:1-8, John 13, Matt 26:30-35, Matt 26:69-75, I Peter 5:1-4)

Our faith in the Lord takes an act of trust in the middle of fear.

(Matthew 5:21-36)

We are not strong enough to spend a lifetime carrying around unforgiveness.

(Matt 18:21-35, Matt 5:23-24, Lk 17:3-5, Matt 5:43-48, Matt 6:14-15, James 2:13, Rom 12:18, Heb 12:1-2, Matt 18:15)

In a conversation about the Law of Moses, Jesus reveals what is to be the north star of our life and faith. 

(Luke 10:25-37, Ex 20, Matt 22:34-40, Mk 12:28-34, Deut 6:4-5, Lev 19:18, I Jn 4:19, Matt 6:33, Matt 16:25, Gal 5:22-23, James 2:14-18, Jn 13:34-35)
