4 - Who Was Peter? Part 1: Peter in the Gospels [a]

Was the Apostle Peter the first Pope? Listen to this lesson to learn about the compelling leader of the disciples. See how this impulsive, gregarious, and out-spoken fisherman slowly learned to trust God. Examine the episodes that demonstrate his willingness to follow Jesus from the first time he met Him and how he had to be rebuked several times. Find out why Jesus called him Cephas, or rock, and what it means when Jesus told him he was being given the keys to the kingdom. Just as Jesus called him a tool of Satan on one occasion, see that we are also tools when our priorities are not shaped by Scripture.
