John | Matthew 4:21–22

During his life, the Apostle John changed from a brash young man who wanted to call down fire from Heaven on the heathen to a loving old man whose message was consumed with Christ’s followers loving one another. What happened? How did this one who wanted to sit at Jesus’ side in His messianic glory become humbled to the point that he simply delighted in being called God’s child and seeing his spiritual children walk in truth? Join us as we see how John decided to follow Jesus, and his life was transformed - and how our lives can be transformed by Jesus, too!

Not So With You | Luke 22:24–27

If you’ve decided to follow Jesus, your life will be different from the world. There is no such thing as a follower of Jesus who is not being transformed by the Holy Spirit into the likeness of Christ. That doesn’t mean Christ-followers are perfect, but it means that God is actively working within our lives to make us better—more like Jesus—throughout our lives.

Mary Magdalene | Mark 16:9

Mary Magdalene is one of the most well-known and misunderstood of all of Jesus' early disciples. In the two-thousand-or-so years since she started following Jesus, she's been labeled a prostitute, an adulterous woman, and even Jesus' wife. We have no biblical evidence whatsoever that she was any of those things. We do know some important facts about her life, and they paint for us a stunningly beautiful portrait of a Christ-follower whose life was transformed by Jesus and who followed Him in faith until He called her Home to Heaven.

Peter, Judas, and Judah | The Beyond Sunday Podcast

What was so special about Peter? Was he the first to confess Jesus as Christ? Why did he repent when Judas did not? Pastor Jeff breaks down Peter’s decisions and shows how disciples who have stumbled can turn back to Jesus, and Jordan compares Peter to Judah, leader of the twelve sons of Israel and the ancestor of Jesus.

Peter | Luke 5:8

Peter was an ordinary person, simply trying to build his life and support his family, when he met Jesus. He spoke quickly, acted brashly, and often learned lessons the hard way; but he loved Jesus—imperfectly, but intensely—and God used him to change the world. Learn with us today how God can use imperfect people like Peter (and us) once we have decided to follow Jesus.
