Peter: Why Do You Doubt?

2/18/2020

We are currently, on Tuesday mornings, looking at seven different characters from God's Word.

We've looked at Abraham: God’s Powerful Promise to a Patriarch, Joseph: He Obeyed Quickly & Completely, Moses: Lifting the Hands of God’s Man, Moses & Aaron: The Leaders Punished, and David: An Acceptable Offering.

Today, we're looking at Peter: Why Do You Doubt? Peter is a fascinating character. I see so much of myself in Peter.

These characters are also featured in (Part Three: Days 21-27 Men of God Character Study) our Come and Gather: Family Time With God 27-day devotional. Or, what we lovingly refer to as Gather.

Today's theme is the protection and provision of the Savior, and our text is Matthew 14:22-33.

We are currently, on Tuesday mornings, looking at seven different characters from God's Word. Last week we looked at Abraham: God’s Powerful Promise to a Patriarch. Today, we're looking at Joseph: He Obeyed Quickly & Completely.

These characters are also featured in (Part Three: Days 21-27 Men of God Character Study) our Come and Gather: Family Time With God 27-day devotional. Or, what we lovingly refer to as Gather. Our text today is found in Genesis 37:

“And Israel said to Joseph, ‘Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.’ And he said to him, ‘Here I am.’ So, he said to him, ‘Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock, and bring me word.’ So, he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

Abraham: God’s Powerful Promise to a Patriarch

Recently, I took the Word of the Year quiz over at DaySpring. My word for this year is Gather! I found that quite interesting since we already had this Gather series in the works. It was like a little confirmation from God to move forward with it. I love those little confirmations!

So, for the next seven weeks (the next seven Tuesdays) we are going to be looking at seven different characters from God's Word.

These characters are also featured in (Part Three: Days 21-27 Men of God Character Study) our Come and Gather: Family Time With God 27-day devotional. Or, what we lovingly refer to as Gather.

It's never too late to find your word of the year. Hop on over to DaySpring and take the Word of the Year quiz. It's simple! You're only 7 questions away from finding your Word of the Year!

5 Signs of a Functional Family: Children who Obey and Honor

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother’ this is the first commandment with a promise” (Ephesians 6:1-2).

This is the final post in our 5 Signs of a Functional Family series. We've looked at An Attitude of Service, Intimacy Between the Husband and Wife, Husbands Who are Loving Leaders and Parents Who Both Teach and Train Their Children. All of these are signs of functional families. While the first four signs are primarily directed to parents and must be parent lead, the fifth and final sign is one which children bear the responsibility.

Children who obey and honor their parents are children who are contributing to making their family a functional family.
