There are three inner connecting stories that bring us to the parable of the workers in the vineyard. The first demonstrates grief (Matt 19:16-22), the second exemplifies greed (Matt 19:23-30), and the third tells of grace (Matt 20:1-16). Simon Peter had much to learn about God's grace, much like we do.

Pt 11 – Failed Again
April 3, 2016 • Dr. Bobby Blanton
Peter was instrumental in opening many doors for the gospel to be heard throughout the world. As he now travels to a mostly Gentile church at Antioch, Peter shows his flaws again by becoming legalistic and submitting to peer pressure. Open your bibles to Galatians as we see how Paul corrects Peter and puts him back on the right track.
Pt 9 – Peter Remembered
March 20, 2016 • Dr. Bobby Blanton
Peter's denial of Jesus was a result of his overconfidence and his refusal to fully let go of the things of the world. After denying Jesus three times, the rooster's crow would always become a reminder to Peter of his betray in a moment of weakness.
