The Twelve - TWL - S4E2

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God’s word so we can live in God’s will.

Today, we’re diving into the life of Simon Peter. Did you know that Peter was the only disciple Jesus formally renamed? Originally named Simon, which means “listening,” Jesus changed his name to Peter, or “the rock,” not because he was already steadfast, but because of what he would become in Jesus’ hands. 🪨

From an impetuous, overbearing fisherman to a pillar of the early church, Peter’s transformation shows us the power of staying close to Jesus, listening, and letting God shape us. When the religious leaders saw Peter’s boldness in the book of Acts, they were astonished. Why? Because he was an unschooled, ordinary man who had been with Jesus. 🙏

Peter’s journey reminds us that if we choose to follow Jesus, no matter how “ordinary” we feel, He can do extraordinary things through us for His glory.
