Peter was instrumental in leading the early church.  His words preached at Pentecost gave meaning to what was transpiring.  His faithfulness in engaging with Cornelius, a Gentile, was a pivotal moment in church history, no longer a church of us, but of us and them.  Peter’s maturity as a follower of Jesus Christ is evident through scripture and is an example for us.  Peter is obedient and prayerful. 

We are called beyond what seems possible to share Christ, serve others, and grow in faith.  We, too, have a role in the larger story of God’s grace and love to those we know and those we do not.  We are called to go beyond our boundaries to declare the truth of Jesus Christ.
