Practical Lessons from the Lives of Saints Peter and Paul (Summer)
Do you desire to love God but find your sins getting in the way? Have you ever thought you were doing the right thing only to find that you were terribly wrong? Then, you can learn some very practical lessons from the Apostles Peter and Paul. This class will look at St. Peter's heartfelt desire to be with Christ, the character traits that got in his way, and his acceptance of the Cross as the only way to eternally being with Christ. We will also look at how the persecutor Saul was transformed by the love of God into the great apostle Paul. In both cases, we will draw lessons on how to be good disciples and good leaders.
