Stumbling Toward Love: Eastertide Sermon Series
After following the disciple Peter throughout Lent, we’re going to continue that trajectory for a few more weeks in a worship series that we’re calling “Stumbling Toward Love.”
The disciple Peter is constantly struggling to figure out how to be a follower of Jesus. At times he has moments of great clarity and conviction; during others, Peter runs away, ruins the plan, struggles even to be honest about who he is and whom he is following.
After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, Peter keeps on struggling. He’s struggled to be a disciple of Jesus and now he’s struggling to be a leader in the early Christian church. And so, during this season of Eastertide, we’re going to continue to follow Peter’s journey each Sunday as an imperfect disciple and, later, an imperfect leader.
I think that most of us struggle and stumble just like Peter, so I hope that looking at the second chapter of his journey will be an encouragement to us as we continue to try and make sense of God’s love at work in the world today and the calling that God has given us to share.
You're invited to be part of that journey on Sunday mornings at 11:00 am in person and online during worship at First Presbyterian Church. I hope that I'll see you there.
Peace,
Pastor Billy
