A Story of a Redeemed Life

According to a historian named Michael Grant, Jesus is a pretty important and influential man. He writes: "The most potent figure, not only in the history of religion, but in world history as a whole, is Jesus Christ, the maker of one of the few revolutions which have lasted. Millions of men and women for century after century have found his life and teaching overwhelmingly significant and moving."

Think of how His life has transformed the world of the Arts. Imagine a world without "Handel's Messiah", or Michelangelo's "Sistine Chapel", or Rembrandt's "The Prodigal", or DaVinci's "Last Supper", or Hugo's "Les Miserables?" But His influence goes far beyond the world of music and art and literature. Imagine your life without Jesus and His grace, forgiveness and hope!

Peter, perhaps the most famous disciple, certainly had to consider that for a season between his denials and restoration. We'll study that restoration this weekend and we'll be amazed again by the kindness of God and the purposes of God. There's one grand theme woven into every Jesus encounter and we will spend time discovering it together.

Be blessed and don't let a little snow keep you from worshipping Jesus! So looking forward to being together and encountering Jesus together!
