The Challenges of Transformation (Sermon Audio)
John 21:15-19
* Four challenges seen in the transformative grace of Jesus.
-
A challenge to self (15a) “ do you love me more than these” intentionally ambiguous- these what? Boat? Fish, other disciples?
-
John 13:37-Peter’s arrogance and self reliance and confidence
-
Matt 26:33-35 "I will never fall away"
-
-
A challenge to serve (15b-17) Peter denied Jesus three times before his crucifixion, here Jesus challenges him three times; love for Jesus must be in place before service can take place; service is based on love for Jesus
-
A challenge to suffer (18-19a) Jesus tells in what way Peter will suffer when he is old-by dying to the glory of God
-
1 Pt 4:14-16
-
-
A challenge to shadow (19b) -“follow me” is to be "in the same way" with someone; present active imperative

From Midweek-July 10th
119:97–104
The psalmist declared his love and devotion to the Law, which gave him more understanding and wisdom than his enemies … teachers, and elders (vv. 97–100). By God’s Word he had kept himself pure (vv. 101–102; cf. vv. 9, 104). He extolled the promises of God as sweet (v. 103). Understanding and purity (v. 104) summarize the points made in verses 98–101.
