Simon Peter Session Video

He left everything to follow his teacher and possessed a passion that would change the world. That’s one way to describe Peter. Here’s another: poor, uneducated, quick-tempered, and full of doubts and fears. Doesn’t even sound like the same man. And that’s the point of Simon Peter, a six-week adult Bible study by Adam Hamilton. Peter was just an ordinary guy who heard and followed God’s extraordinary call. Discover how you, too, have special gifts, talents, and abilities that God can use to make a difference today.

In Session 1 titled “The Call of the Fisherman”, Adam Hamilton takes you on a tour of Bethsaida and Capernaum, including the site that may be Simon Peter’s house and the synagogue where Jesus taught, while exploring the story of Simon Peter’s call to be Jesus’ disciple.
