PETER
APOSTLE • FISHERMAN • WITNESS
“Meet the fisherman Jesus called to follow Him.”
MEET PETER
Peter was a fisherman from Galilee. He was bold, quick to speak, and sometimes quick to fail — and Jesus loved him, restored him, and used him to lead the early Church. If you've ever felt like you keep getting it wrong, Peter's story is for you.
THE STORY
Simon was casting nets into the Sea of Galilee when Jesus said, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.' He walked on water — until he looked at the waves. He declared Jesus the Christ — then denied Him three times. But the risen Jesus met him on a beach, forgave him, and said 'Feed My sheep.' At Pentecost, Peter preached and three thousand people believed.
