On July 29th, I will be preaching my first message since Palm Sunday of last year. I've decided to preach on the life of Peter, because it's someone who I've been reading about (I'm reading through the book of Acts) and someone I haven't really focused on. I think it's because he has always reminded me of a manly man type of man, and I'm not sure I really relate to that. But the more I study Peter, the more I'm amazed at how gutsy he was and how he took risks, even looking like a fool at times. I'm excited to study more about him and to talk about him as the risk taker.

What a great person to study and preach about.
most people don't remember (or don't know) that Peter was married. I think one of his biggest risks was trying to convince his wife (and mother in law)that he was going to be leaving the fishing business in order to follow a radical Jew with liberal ideas across the country while starting a new religious movement. I can imagine how difficult that conversation must have been.
