Download or read book Simon Peter the Fisher of Man Lesson Book written by Joel Partain and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-12 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thirteen-part Bible lesson series for teens focuses on the amazing transformation of the apostle Peter.Simon Peter always seemed so careless and impulsive. He acted out of fear a lot of times. And he often said stupid things. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy Jesus would pick to be an apostle--in fact, Peter seems like the kind of guy best confined to a fishing boat out in the middle of the sea.But Jesus wanted him on His team. In fact, Peter becomes one of Jesus' closest friends. And as we read through the life of Simon Peter, we find that he becomes one of the strongest, boldest, and one of the most effective Christian leaders in the Bible--which is why the life of Peter is such an encouraging topic to study for young adults. Jesus took a young, impulsive man and developed him into a strong, competent leader. Jesus had a purpose and a ministry for Peter--and Jesus has a specific ministry for each of us. So often we find ourselves feeling more incompetent, unsure, and more afraid than we want to admit. This is why one of the goals of this lesson series is to help us see what Jesus is doing in our lives using the different stories and events surrounding Peter. Maybe we can relate to how Peter felt or understand why he acted the way he did. But the awesome truth about what Jesus does is the fact that Jesus does not treat us with condemnation--even when we mess up; Jesus always gives us life and purpose.We hope and pray this Bible series will benefit teenagers and young adults who may not feel strong about who they are in Christ--or who they are at all! But if Jesus can take a normal fisherman who fumbles and bumbles around, and transform him into an incredible leader, than imagine what Jesus might have in store for the rest of us!This lesson series includes a Teacher's Guide and a student section for each lesson.

Download or read book Homeward Bound written by Peter Ames Carlin and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory account of the life of beloved American music icon, Paul Simon, by the bestselling rock biographer Peter Ames Carlin To have been alive during the last sixty years is to have lived with the music of Paul Simon. The boy from Queens scored his first hit record in 1957, just months after Elvis Presley ignited the rock era. As the songwriting half of Simon & Garfunkel, his work helped define the youth movement of the '60s. On his own in the '70s, Simon made radio-dominating hits. He kicked off the '80s by reuniting with Garfunkel to perform for half a million New Yorkers in Central Park. Five years later, Simon’s album “Graceland” sold millions and spurred an international political controversy. And it doesn’t stop there. The grandchild of Jewish emigrants from Galicia in the Austro-Hungarian empire, the 75-year-old singer-songwriter has not only sold more than 100 million records, won 15 Grammy awards and been installed into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame twice, but has also animated the meaning—and flexibility—of personal and cultural identity in a rapidly shrinking world. Simon has also lived one of the most vibrant lives of modern times; a story replete with tales of Carrie Fisher, Leonard Bernstein, Bob Dylan, Woody Allen, Shelley Duvall, Nelson Mandela, drugs, depression, marriage, divorce, and more. A life story with the scope and power of an epic novel, Carlin’s Homeward Bound is the first major biography of one of the most influential popular artists in American history.

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.

Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Download or read book Words of Life written by Adam Hamilton and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the Ten Commandments were not just a set of ancient rules, but a guide to experiencing the good life today? “Adam Hamilton is a teacher of the highest order, able to bridge the gap between very old divine teaching and very current human reality.”—Barbara Brown Taylor, author of Always a Guest: Speaking of Faith Far from Home Nearly everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments, the list of “thou-shalt-nots” found in the Bible. Jesus saw these commandments not as onerous burdens, but as guideposts to help us experience a good and beautiful life. These ten ancient “words” were given to us by a loving God who longed to set safe boundaries, create order out of chaos, help communities live peacefully, and protect us—often from ourselves. In this book of Scripture and inspiration, bestselling author Adam Hamilton brings modern eyes to the most important set of ethics in history. He considers the commandments in their historical context, considering the meaning of each commandment in Hebrew, unpacking how Jesus reinterpreted them, and showing how every thou-shalt-not was intended to point to a life-giving “thou shalt.” He also explores how the latest research in science and psychology illuminates these commandments, rightly understood, as a way of ordering one's life beautifully in the present day. In a culture marked by workaholism, materialism, and social media-driven envy, God has given us a time-tested path that leads to gratitude, confidence, and peace. A landmark work from one of our most trusted biblical thinkers, Words of Life is an inspiring, thought-provoking read for anyone seeking to live a meaningful and joyful life.
