Download or read book Simon Called Peter written by Dom Mauro-Giuseppe Lepori and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simon Peter, the fisherman who was both attracted to Jesus and repelled by his own weakness, who in faith walked on the water and in fear began to sink; the ardent disciple who promised to die for His Lord and then moments later betrayed Him, who needed to reaffirm his yes to God over and over again, even unto a martyr's death: Is this not a model for many of us who desire to love and trust the Lord completely, yet who struggle daily to pick up our cross and follow Him? Abbot Lepori's meditation on the relationship between our Lord and Saint Peter invites us to consider our own relationship with Christ. As he imaginatively retells the well-known stories from the Gospels, he revivifies them and makes them present to us, deepening our understanding of the calling we have received from Jesus and strengthening our confidence that the Lord will, indeed, bring to completion the work of love He has begun in us.
Download or read book Following the Footsteps of Simon Peter written by Joani Ross and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simon Peter was a disciple of Jesus. He walked with, talked to, and learned from Jesus for three years. He was even in Jesus' inner INNER circle of a few with a front row view of incredible miracles. After Jesus' resurrection and the gift of the Holy Spirit, Peter became a powerful leader in the early church. You might think Peter was gifted with amazing leadership skills, perfect temperament, highly trained and educated, pristine social skills and awareness, impeccable timing for knowing when to listen and when to speak. Maybe you are thinking you have nothing in common with Peter. Do you often feel unqualified? Did you find it not hard to follow Jesus, but yet HARD to follow Jesus? Are you often all in...ready to jump into action, many times prematurely? Do you like to take matters in your own hands? Do you find your intentions are often so much better than your actions? Do you often act before you should? Do you sometimes just miss the point? Do you put your foot in your mouth way more than you should? But do you also love deeply and you want so badly to be doing this life you have been given right? If you can relate, you may be more like Peter than you think. This is the Simon Peter we read about in the Bible. Unqualified on his own, spontaneous, "just fix it" personality, saying all the wrong things at times. And these are the characteristics I see in myself so often. God is ready to use us, quirky personality and all. He is ready to transform our messy weakness into His strength to do mighty things for His kingdom. He is ready to show us it is all Him, so we can relax and step into this freedom. Dive in with me as we explore the personality and evolution of Peter...from a mess to a mighty warrior for the kingdom. We'll look at the life of Simon Peter as recorded in the Bible...his time with Jesus, the incredible impact he has after the death and resurrection of Jesus, and his two letters preserved in the Bible.

Download or read book Simon Peter in Scripture and Memory written by Markus Bockmuehl and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Jesus, Peter is the most frequently mentioned individual both in the Gospels and in the New Testament as a whole. He was the leading disciple, the "rock" on which Jesus would build his church. How can we know so little about this formative figure of the early church? World-renowned New Testament scholar Markus Bockmuehl introduces the New Testament Peter by asking how first- and second-century sources may be understood through the prism of "living memory" among the disciples of the apostolic generation and the students of those disciples. He argues that early Christian memory of Peter underscores his central role as a bridge-building figure holding together the diversity of first-century Christianity. Drawing on more than a decade of research, Bockmuehl applies cutting-edge scholarship to the question of the history and traditions of this important but strangely elusive figure. Bockmuehl provides fresh insight into the biblical witness and early Christian tradition that New Testament students and professors will value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALL TOO OFTEN, WE ATTEMPT to reduce the gospel narrative to a set of theological propositions. However, our faith is not rooted in the abstract realm of thought but in the tangible, sweat and blood world where we live out our calling to follow in the footsteps of Christ. The gospel is full of the real-life struggles, fears, failures, and triumphs of men and women just like us, and in this retelling of Jesus’s ministry as experienced by Simon Peter, Rev. Dr. Johannes W. H. van der Bijl invites us to encounter the gospel’s transformative power afresh. Breakfast on the Beach is a harmonized, chronological retelling of the four Gospels that explores Jesus’s fourfold method of discipleship through its impact on his followers, especially Simon Peter. Harnessing the power of story, Johannes brings the gospel to life in new ways, emphasizing the relational nature of faith, discipleship, and what it means to follow Christ – whether in first-century Judea or in our own lives and contexts.

Download or read book Following Jesus Daily Footsteps written by Karen Miller and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase "It is a God thing" is often used today. Karen says she senses God's presence daily but doesn't regularly use that phrase. With this book, however, she is deeply aware that it really is a God thing from beginning to end starting back in 1968 when she was a new child of God and received a Bible with the J. B. Phillips paraphrase. She wanted to read of Jesus' daily activities but could only combine the Scriptures for each activity. She didn't know how to put them in chronological order until discovering her husband's Harmony of the Gospels book. She has combined the Gospels and put them in chronological order and hopes it will be helpful to others. Each activity of Jesus is titled with the exact Scripture written below the title for further research if one wishes. All Scriptures are printed in color to make it easy to know which apostle is talking as well as easily see which of the four apostles have written about the same incident. Any quotes the apostles use from the Old Testament is in yet a different color with its reference included. When more than one apostle tells the same story but remembers it differently, a slash (/) is used, and both are included in the text. There is a table of contents for each of the apostle's book and a table of contents for each activity.
Download or read book In His Footsteps written by Marilyn E. Phelan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the lengthy research and pen of two lawyers, a judge and a former law professor, this book, In His Footsteps: The Early Followers of Jesus, is a guide to understanding the early Christian movement through a study of the lives and ministries of the first believers, most of whom had met with the risen Jesus and thus knew, without doubt, that Jesus was the Christ and Savior of the world. The book cites accounts from Eusebius, a third-century Greek Christian historian, who also referenced testimony from first-century Christians about the almost unbelievable courage of the early followers of Jesus, who willingly and fearlessly, despite tremendous persecution and sufferings, brought to an otherwise lost world an assurance of life eternal for all believers. The book also refers to the fulfillment of many of the biblical prophecies, the principal ones being the restoration of the nation of Israel and the return of many Jewish people to their homeland. This book is an indispensable resource for all persons, as the tremendous sacrifices of the first believers should never be forgotten.

Download or read book SIMON PETER The Reed and the Rock written by David Pawson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turning water into wine took Jesus a few minutes. Changing a reed (which 'Simon' means) into a rock ('Peter') took quite a few years. Which is the greater miracle, transmuting nature or transforming human nature? Many identify with Simon Peter's weaknesses, not least his knack of opening his mouth and putting his foot in it! On one occasion he even swore that he didn't know his best friend, just to save his own skin. Jesus taught this fisherman how to catch more fish, then how to catch people. He used that unruly tongue to preach the good news of his death and resurrection for the very first time, netting thousands for the kingdom of God. In this book David Pawson draws some unexpected lessons from Peter's failures and successes for both our individual and corporate lives as part of the Church of which Peter was the original pastor.
