When Jesus tells Peter that he'll deny knowing him, Peter refuses to believe.  But even knowing, he still missteps.  What happens when we deny Christ like Peter did? 

📖 Matt26:31-75, Mark2:1-12, Heb10:24-25, Jas5:19-20, John18:10-11, John21, Matt18:21-35, Luke7:47

"The Rock" gets called something else in this week's episode. Peter is left speechless to think about his perception of Jesus' true purpose. Insult or opportunity?

📖 Matt16:21-28, Isa53, Acts7, Mark10:45, Matt5:29-30

We've all received nicknames through the years. What nickname does Jesus give Peter and what significance does this name have? When God changes your name, your name tag isn't the only thing that is rewritten.

It's more comfortable and dry in the boat, but Jesus says trust me and step out! Storms are inevitable, but we can choose where to focus. Am I more concerned about the waves or where Jesus is? What uncertainty is Jesus helping me navigate?

Sometimes God does something big in our lives to remind us who's really in control. Jesus says step aside and watch what God can do. Is your faith too little to see what God is doing? Maybe it's time to watch God work. 

📖 Matt14:13-21, 1Cor3:6, Luke5, Matt5-7, Matt10, Mark4:35-41, 1Kgs17, Exod16, John6:15

What can we learn from our guy, Peter, as he follows the footsteps of Jesus? In their first meeting, Jesus says step with me and I'll give you a new purpose. What does it cost to follow Him? How does life change when we follow His steps?

📖 Matt4:17-22, Acts4:13, Matt6:24, Luke9:62, Luke14:15-24, Matt8:20, Matt13:44-46, Luke14:28-30, John21, Matt16:24-25, Heb12:1-2
