PETER PROCLAIMS JESUS (Chris Burke) Acts 2 and Acts 10 point to Peter's boldness of taking the Good News of the resurrection of Jesus Christ to both Jews and Gentiles, breaking extreme ethnic barriers.

PETER DENIES JESUS (Daniel Montgomery) Peter was the “boldest” of Christ’s disciples, yet sometimes he was sheepish and experienced deep shame. Jesus addresses Peter’s shame, and calls him to serve in spite of what he had done.

PETER UNDERSTANDS JESUS (Sam Reader)In Mark 8:27-33 Peter confesses that he believes Jesus is "the Christ", but he misinterprets what Jesus came to accomplish. Jesus tells Peter he is setting his mind on "things of man", not the "things of God",

PETER TRUSTS JESUS (Matt Reagan) In Matthew 14:22-33 we see the scene of Peter taking a great step of faith, but then failing. Jesus desires to understand Peter in his fear, which is doubt.

PETER IS CALLED BY JESUS (Kyle Idleman) In Luke 5:1-11 we see Peter decide to leave his profession, lifestyle, and comfort to follow Jesus. Peter's pursuit of following Jesus transformed his identity, as Jesus gives him a new name, just as God gave Abraham a new name.

Psalm 107 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader)

1 Thessalonians 5:18 commands believers in Christ to give thanks to God in all circumstances. Yet, both our dispositions and our situations can often lead us away from practicing thanksgiving. In Psalm 107, the writer recounts four stories of redemption, thanks the Lord for His deliverance, and reminds the reader of God’s sovereign love for the humble and lowly.

Psalm 51 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader)

In 2 Samuel 11-12, King David commits a pile of atrocious sins (adultery, murder, etc.). After being confronted by Nathan, David turns from his entitled and malicious sin-spiral to broken and contrite repentance. Psalm 51 is David’s prayer penitence, and serves well as a model for all who experience the guilt of shame, and seek to be forgiven and restored by the Lord.

Psalm 42 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader)

In this Psalm, we find a writer who pours out his soul, which is overwhelmed with sorrow and grief, to the Lord. Yet, this is not passive complaining. The Psalmist takes his heart in hand, and begins the hard and necessary work of putting his hope in God. In Psalm 42 we can learn how God enters into our sadness and strife, and how we can interact with him in the midst of it.

Psalm 23 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader) 

In this Psalm, we find David, amidst unnerving and threatening circumstances, in a state of unshakeable serenity. In his prayer, David employs two metaphors to help us understand and rest in who the Lord is: God as Shepherd and God as Host. In a time of frenetic news cycles, the disruption of regularity, and the unveiled reality of our empty idols, we as believers are wise to seek respite in praying Psalm 23. For, it is here David helpfully reminds our hearts of the peace of God that can only be found in trusting the God of peace.

Psalm 1 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader)

The first chapter of the Book of Psalms stands as a gatekeeper to the rest of what Dietrich Bonhoeffer called the “prayer-book of the Bible,” where we are able to learn 1) Who God is 2) Who we are 3) How to interact with him in relationship. The writer of Psalm 1 quickly cuts to the chase, declaring that every man will walk one of two paths. The first is the way of truth that leads to life. The other is a path that ends in death and destruction. Which will you take?
