Something To Say! - The Life of Peter - Part 10

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a series on the life of Peter and how the early church spread in a context so adamantly against Jesus. One of the ways is through our actions. When we love people the way Jesus loves people, it's a beautiful testimony that attracts people to want to know more about Jesus. But when we don't act like Jesus, it puts a stain on Christianity and kills our testimony. Today, we will look at both a good and a bad example of living like Jesus. Also, twenty-two people were baptized last Sunday. And so, as part of our "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with four people sharing their testimonies and why they were baptized. We hope you find them encouraging. Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 16, 2024, at 9:30am.
