The Legacy Of One Life

August 19, 2022

Our lives can have meaning, significance, and value—the kind that lasts. Peter’s life and two epistles to the church have left a legacy that goes on into eternity. In this message, we find three reasons why Peter’s life has eternal repercussions. It’s not just because of what he believed or what he did, it’s also about who he became.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Some of us are in prisons made by others or even ourselves. How could God possibly sustain us in our “prisons”? In Acts 12, Peter was in jail—about to be executed. In this message, we unlock three lessons from Peter’s prison experience: God’s sovereignty, His triumph, and His power. God will be glorified even in our darkest dungeons.

God wants us to watch for Him even in the darkest times of our life. Sometimes, like in Peter’s circumstances, God walks us through prisons. In this message from Acts 12, we notice three unbreakable links in the chain of God’s providence. Through this miraculous story, we discover that we are not abandoned—even in prison.

What do people really need? The Apostle Peter didn’t have extensive resources and neither do we. In this message, we discover the effect our lives have on others, and why we, like Peter, must live in the power of the Holy Spirit. If we stand in the light of Christ, our shadows will impact others with resources that are far beyond our own power.

All of us would like to be a positive influence, giving people help and direction. In Acts 5, people brought the sick to Peter, now transformed by Jesus, so his shadow might fall upon them to be healed. In this message, we visit three different instances where his shadow—his influence—was profound, going into eternity. What kind of an impact are we having?

Many of us are hesitant to believe God can work in and through us like He did for the Apostles. Peter, despite all his impulses and failures, experienced the Holy Spirit remaking him from the inside out. In this message, we discover how we too are blessed by the Holy Spirit of God. Do not stifle the only Voice that can save you.

Can God really change people? From the day of Christ’s Ascension to the day of Pentecost, Peter is transformed from a confused and discouraged man into an Apostle with boldness and determination. In this message, we see three contrasts between the old and the new Peter. We too can be transformed.

Sometimes we are drowning in shame because we cannot change the deep failures of our past. That’s where Jesus found Peter after he vehemently denied even knowing Jesus. In this message, we listen to Jesus’ three restorative questions. In Christ, we have lasting incentives to be restored to Christ and His service.

We often ponder, “How different would my life be, if only…?” Peter denied Christ, amassing a load of guilt too deep for words. In this message from Luke 22, we identify four incentives which move us closer to Christ regardless of the guilt we carry. No matter how horrible our mistakes have been, it is possible to be brought from regret to restoration.

Moral and spiritual pollution is everywhere, even within us. When Jesus knelt to wash Peter’s feet, the conflict within Peter was intense. In this message from John 13, servanthood and submission are displayed, even as Jesus revealed another type of washing that is deeply inward. With our daily sins and sinful nature, how can we be cleansed?

We’d all like to live better lives than we are. Usually, it’s easy to see the evil without, but not all of us recognize the enemy within. In this message from John 13, in which Jesus washes Peter’s feet, we are confronted with three lessons which expose us before God. Until Christ cleanses us on the inside, we’re dirty no matter how wonderful we look on the outside.
