As you walk through the Gospels of Scripture, you will observe there is a lot of detail from the last week of Jesus’ ministry as he walked the earth. He took a long journey that eventually leads him to the city of Jerusalem, where he would be tried, found guilty but not guilty and then put to death by the Romans. My stories include some of Jesus’ more popular parables, great miracles and a story about a short fat man.
Peter is one of Jesus’ closest disciples who, at the end of the Gospel of John, was asked by Jesus to feed his sheep. In the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit transforms his life as he becomes one of the principal founders of the Church in Jerusalem. In the Gospels, Peter is a man filled with passion that gets him in trouble all the time, but in Acts, he is an influential figure in the new church.

The birth of Jesus was something spectacular. The coming of his birth was laid at the foundation of the world. As the old testament writers put the Word of God down on paper it is laced with prophecies about the coming Messiah. My story follows the Gospels as it demonstrates the fulfillment of these prophecies through the birth of Jesus Christ.
