About

The rock of the church

The Miraculous Catch of Fish

Professional fishermen catch nothing all night. Jesus says try again. The nets nearly break from the haul.

Picking the Twelve

After a night of prayer, Jesus picks his squad — fishermen, a tax collector, a zealot, and a traitor. Interesting choices.

Peter's Big Confession

'Who do you say I am?' Peter nails it — 'You're the Christ.' Then Jesus drops the first prediction of his death.

The Transfiguration

Jesus takes three disciples up a mountain. His face blazes like the sun. Moses and Elijah appear. Peter wants to build tents.

The Fish with a Coin

Tax collectors come asking. Jesus tells Peter to catch a fish — there'll be a coin in its mouth. There is. Bill paid.

Gethsemane

'Take this cup from me. But not my will — yours.' In crushing sorrow, Jesus chooses obedience over escape.

Peter's Three Denials

'I don't know him.' Three times. Then the rooster crows. Peter remembers and breaks down crying.

The Road to Emmaus

Two heartbroken disciples walk home. A stranger joins them and explains the Scriptures. When he breaks bread, they realize — it's Jesus.

The Ascension

Jesus leads his disciples to a hillside, blesses them, and rises into the sky. Two angels say 'he'll be back.'

Pentecost

The Holy Spirit arrives like fire and wind. Everyone starts speaking languages they never learned. The church is born.

The Beautiful Gate Miracle

A disabled beggar asks Peter for money. Peter says 'I don't have money, but I have something better.' The man walks.

Ananias & Sapphira

A couple lies about their donation to the church. They both drop dead. God is not messing around with fakes in the early church.

Peter's Miracles in Lydda & Joppa

Peter heals a paralyzed man and raises a dead woman. The apostles are walking in the same power Jesus had.

Cornelius & the Sheet Vision

God sends Peter a vision of forbidden food and says 'eat.' The message: salvation isn't just for Jews anymore.

James Killed, Peter Escapes

King Herod executes James. He arrests Peter too — but an angel breaks him out of prison in the middle of the night.

The Jerusalem Council

The early church debates the biggest question: do non-Jews have to follow Jewish law? They land on grace.

Peter's Final Letter

An aging apostle warns about false teachers and reminds the church: he SAW Jesus transfigured on that mountain. This isn't fiction.

Jesus Walks on Water

Middle of a storm. Disciples panicking. Then they see someone WALKING on the waves toward them.

The Last Supper

His final meal with his 12 closest friends. One of them was about to betray him. He already knew.

The Resurrection

Three days later, the tomb was empty. He was alive. Everything he said was true. The greatest comeback in history.
