How many of you have heard about or read the book “The Peter Principle”? The basic premise is quite simple. It is the idea that in a work place environment, given enough time and enough promotions, people will rise to their level of incompetency.

Choice Vs. Emotions

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022

It is interesting to note that in John 21 two different kinds of love are being presented. The first two times Jesus says “Lovest thou me more than these,” He is using the Greek word agape for love; the third time He uses the Greek word phileo. But does it matter?

The Road To Redemption

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Jun 14, 2022

What an incredible example and admirable trait we see in Peter to be able to say when Jesus asks, "do you love me?" and respond, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you."

Telling Someone Something You'll Never Do It can be dangerous to tell someone something that you'll never do. Have you ever heard someone say something like (or maybe you've said it yourself), "I'll never let my kid play with that kind of toy," or "I'll never let ...read more

Do You Love Him?

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 9, 2022

Here, we find some of Christ's last words before He ascended into heaven. Jesus asked Peter numerous times if he loved Him. In doing so, He sought to instill within Peter four keys that would help him serve the Lord more effectively.

In John chapter 21, we find some of Jesus’ last words before He ascended to be with His Father in heaven. Jesus was preparing to confer His ministry to Peter; and according to Warren Wiersbe, we see in this passage a threefold commission that was given to him.(1) Jesus wanted to instill within ...read more

Gone Fishing

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023

What did the disciples do after Jesus' miraculous resurrection? They went fishing! But this passage teaches us that it’s okay to get on with our lives while waiting for Jesus to make it clear what it is we are to do for him.

I’ll bet not one of you can tell me exactly what happened to the disciples after that first Easter morning, and in what order. And it’s not surprising. I would have had a hard time putting together a chronology of events if I hadn’t had to preach on the subject, and even then there’s a little ...read more

At A Time And Place Of God's Choosing

Contributed by Don Campbell on Mar 22, 2023
