Peter said that he loved Jesus.

Peter said that he'd die for Jesus.

But on the night of Christ's betrayal, Peter denied Him three times.

So, what do we make of Peter's failure?

What do we make of his weakness?

And how did Christ respond?

That will be the focus of today's study in John 18.

John: The Three Denials Of Peter

Elisha was bald. Very bald.

In 2 Kings 2, the youth noticed - and mocked him for it.

How did Elisha respond?

Well, not in a way that you might expect.

He cursed the youth - and two bears came out to maul them.

So, what's the deal with that? For some, it seems like an overreaction.

Other Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What was so sinful about the youth's actions?

B) Why was Elisha justified in his response?

C) What do these events tell us about God?

Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby Holt

Elisha And The Bears (What Really Happened)

In Psalm 8, David marveled at the stars.

And as he did so, he considered God's power.

'What is man,' David asked, that God should care for him?

In other words, why would a God so big care for people so small?

And yet, He does.

In today's text, we'll consider the towering yet tender nature of our God.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What is so striking about Psalm 8?

B) Why does David focus on the 'name' of God?

C) What proof do you have that God loves you?

Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby Holt
