From Fear to Faith - How the Resurrection of Jesus changes everything

In today’s message we look at the resurrection, talk about what it’s like to be sifted, and focus in on the person of Peter - who perhaps wasn’t a very good swordsman.

We begin by stepping back in time to the night before Jesus was crucified, with Jesus and his disciples gathered together celebrating the Passover. It was an incredible meal and a great time of teaching where Jesus shared his heart and some of the richest teachings in all of scripture. In the midst of that meal there's a conversation between Jesus and Peter that is incredibly telling. Luke 22:31-34

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” 33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.” 34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
