Heart is a metaphor in the Bible for where you find your security. Your heart is the clearest reflection of who you are as a person. Hebrew physiology was different from ours. What is the heart in the Old Testament? We think of the heart as the physical center of our health. They did too.

If you live life long enough, and if you put yourself out there enough, at some point you are going to experience this feeling of being overwhelmed and in over your head. In these moments, God invites us to run to Him for wisdom. Of wisdom, King Solomon writes, “Whoever listens to wisdom, will dwell secure and be at ease, without dread of disaster.”

The cross stands today as a reminder that one was wrongfully sentenced to death, so that the guilty may go free. It is a reminder that each day we must choose to live in light of the cross recognizing that there we were purchased and set free from our sin, shame, and guilt, never to return.

Jesus calls Peter to be His disciple and to walk on water. Peter confesses who Jesus is: the Messiah. These moments will lead to his fire of failure: denying Jesus. But, his fire of failure was not the end of his story. In this sermon, we’ll examine other important moments after Peter's denial. We will look at the cross, the resurrection, and Peter's restoration on the shore. Peter’s sin was not greater than his Savior’s grace.

Through history, tables have been the place where negotiations have been made, wars created, and conflict resolved. A table witnesses life’s journey – from a child’s homework to family dinners, romantic dates, introductions and farewells. It collects stories, laughter, arguments, and history, making it more than just a piece of wood, but a silent keeper of life.
