Why Did Judas Betray Jesus? Greg Laurie

The most mysterious, and perhaps the most misunderstood, of the twelve disciples is Judas Iscariot. His very name is synonymous with evil and treachery.

Why Did Jesus Ask Three Times if Peter Loved Him? Greg Laurie

I find it interesting that when Peter encountered the risen Christ, Jesus asked him the same question three times. How many times did Peter deny the Lord? Three. And three times Jesus asked him, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me . . . ?” (John 21:15–17).

What Do We Know about the Apostle Philip? Greg Laurie

We don’t know a lot about Philip. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke give us no details about him. All the vignettes of Philip appear in the Gospel of John.

Transforming the “Sons of Thunder”? Greg Laurie

You don’t get a nickname like Sons of Thunder for no reason [Mark 3:16–17]. But that is how Jesus’ disciples, James and John, were known.

Three Contradictory Calls to Peter? Charles Spurgeon

There are at least three calls to Peter from Jesus. Do these calls contradict each other?

Simon the Canaanite? Or Simon the Zealot? Charles Spurgeon

Simon called the Zealot has apparently two surnames in Scripture, but they mean the same thing.

How Did Satan Want to "Sift" Peter? Charles Stanley

Peter had a life-altering failure. Jesus warned that Satan had asked permission to "sift" the disciple like wheat—vigorous shaking is required to separate wheat kernels from debris.

Why Did Peter Want to Build Booths? Doug Bookman

What Gift Did Matthew Receive? Jack Graham

Peter Got Christ's Message? Jack Graham

Did you know that there are more conversations recorded between Jesus and Simon Peter than any other two people in Scripture?

John: A Life Transformed? John Barnett

The transformation Christ brought about in the apostle John is remarkable.

Jesus Taught the Disciples to Love? John Barnett

Who would be the best example of a person who modeled this love that was considered humanly impossible? The answer would be the only One who ever perfectly lived out God’s will.
