Characteristics of Faithful Steward PT. 2: Who was Simon Peter?

May 17, 2026    Jay Knolls

In 2 Peter chapter 1, we encounter a man who had every reason to lead with his credentials. Peter had walked on water, witnessed the Transfiguration, and preached a sermon that brought thousands to faith in a single day. And yet, when he puts pen to paper, the first word he uses to describe himself is servant. This sermon digs into that single word and unpacks a radical, countercultural identity that cuts straight against the grain of a world obsessed with self-promotion.
