The theme over the course of the next 6 Weeks is Growing in Jesus. This first message will focus on Peter's life and how his personal experiences of God's love and forgiveness is witnessed through his writing in 2 Peter. Like many of us, Peter learned the hard way but God never gave up on him, nor will he ever give up on us. Don't miss this foundational message.

02.11.12 - Planting the Seed
In his book, Caught Between Two Worlds, Karl Haffner writes: "David Pollack tried to grow taller in his own power. His attempt was unsuccessful. Pollack said he would do anything to make himself taller. He said, 'I've been sleeping upside down. It's not working.'" We can't make ourselves taller or shorter for we are what we are. However, the Bible does have an attitude check that, if followed, will lead to living a victorious life everyday—in all circumstances. What that attitude check is and how to apply it to your life is part of the message.

02.18.12 - Tending the Plants
Peter offers us an insight into his motivation for writing 2 Peter. He wrote: "I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me" (2 Peter 1:13-14). In this revealing scripture Peter opens to us his prayer life and communion with our Lord Jesus. We'll explore God's word to discover how we may communion with our Lord.

02.25.12 - Promoting Growth
Peter writes that we have the prophetic message of the power and the soon coming of our Lord. He isn't merely repeating a message he was told but was an eyewitness of the power and glory of Jesus. Be ready to compare the Old Testament with the New Testament as we evaluate the prophetic message that takes on new meaning to us who live in the twenty-first century. This could be the opportunity for "the day dawns and the morning star" to rise in your hearts.
