I remember the first time I heard the word.

“You’ve got to be sanctified”…mumbled from a half-toothed caricature of a depression era southern child. It was just one of the many fast-paced scenes from the movie “O Brother Where Art Thou”.

I never thought much about the word until I had experienced it myself.

This week, we are looking at the #DoOver we find in the story of Peter. Peter was one of the disciples of Jesus. Many people would say he was Jesus’ right hand man, taking care of things, part of his inner circle, privy to amazing experiences and ultimately the rock upon whom the Church would be built.

But Peter was also a bumbling idiot.

One of Peter’s most infamous bumbles was the denial of Jesus Christ during his trial. But in just a few weeks we see a dramatically different Peter in the book of Acts. He goes from a bumbling follower, nearly incompetent…to a tremendous leader serving as the vocal mouthpiece of the movement of Jesus Christ, affecting thousands in Jerusalem.

What can do this?

Sanctification.

And it is totally part of the #DoOver story of God. So read ahead and get ready for this Sunday.
