First Encounter

Peter is one of the most well-known figures in Christianity. His life, ministry, and calling have even created divisions between Protestants and Roman Catholics. It is beneficial for us to learn about this follower of Christ, that we, like him, might become better Christ-followers. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas introduces the life of Peter by explaining his humble beginnings and call to follow Christ.
