The gospel is the most glorious news in all the world; however, the good news seems almost strange until one understands the bad news - and how bad it really is. This message emphasizes the wonderful love God lavished on undeserving sinners and then goes on to explain how the gospel is not only our only hope for salvation, but it is also God's method of sanctification in the life of the believer.

Jesus graciously calls Peter back to discipleship, but Peter's initial reaction is a bit odd. After Jesus explains Peter's ministry and reveals that one day he will die in service of Christ, Peter's first response is to ask what will happen to John. This attitude of comparison is pervasive among believers, but Jesus helps us by this reminder: as individuals we are called to follow Jesus.

Culture is constantly putting pressure on believers and on the church as a whole to interpret Scripture in a way that does not go against the grains of its modern ideals. Nevertheless, the Word of God provides for us the best and the only true guide for building the church of Jesus Christ. We must seek to wisely interpret the Bible and then apply the truths therein with love.

Peter's failure may have disqualified him for service in our minds and in his own mind; however, the one Person whose opinions truly matters believed that there was hope yet for Peter. Jesus found Peter where he was, forgave him of who he was and what he had done, and then gave him the privilege of serving the King of kings with his life. If there was hope for Peter, thank God there is hope for us as well!

At Gethsemane, Jesus begged his Father for a way out of the agony that lay before him; nevertheless, despite the pain and suffering he was going through, Jesus was willing to submit to the Father's will. It is at this difficult time that Jesus teaches Peter an essential lesson: Peter will never find the strength he needs to withstand temptation in his own flesh - Peter must learn to watch and pray.

Should woman keep silent in the church? This passage addresses how the people of God must view the Word of God in light of a culture that believes it to be an antiquated and sometimes misogynistic book. How does the church properly understand men and women as equal, yet different? Paul seems to make it clear, so how well do we listen?

The story of Jesus washing the feet of the disciples is famous for its depiction of a master who humbles himself to serve his followers; however, there is a great deal more to this story than simply a moral lesson. Jesus is teaching the disciples an essential spiritual truth, without which they would never find the blessing of God. It's not about feet.
