Points:
- Transformation: An act or the act or process of change in form, appearance, nature or character. Especially a radical one
- Jesus used the name Simon first (vs 17) and then Peter (vs 18) to suggest transformation of the man.
- As Simon grew into Peter he had to learn:
- He had to learn self control
- He had to learn how to be a leader
- He had to learn how to be a writer
- When you have transitioned from a caterpillar to a butterfly, don’t go back to do caterpillar things. Don’t return to your crawling days.
- Even after this experience, Peter made his mistakes until he got it right
- Each of us must go through our own transformation process
- Peter moved from:
- “Denier of the gospel to defender of the gospel
- From doubter to “convincer”
- From self movements to God movements
- Know where you are moving from and where you are moving to
- Let God work in your life. Let the Holy Spirit lead
Supporting Texts:
- Isaiah 6
