Today’s conversation brings us to the end of our “One Another” series as we look at living in harmony with one another with special guest speaker, Pastor Jerry Casey of Providence Church. This conversation is a culmination of the journey we have taken throughout this series. As we finish out this series it is our hope that we have both encouraged and equipped you to not only embody the love of Jesus, but also to share it with the world around you. For it is written, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Weakness Is Strength | Pastor David Amsden | June 7, 2026
In this message, we explore the life of Peter and the surprising journey from self-confidence to Spirit-dependence. Peter loved Jesus. He wanted to obey Jesus. He believed he would never abandon Jesus. Yet time after time, Peter found himself relying on his own courage, understanding, devotion, and strength. It wasn't until his confidence in himself finally collapsed that he discovered the power of God's grace.
Through Peter's story, we'll wrestle with some honest questions: Where do we trust ourselves more than God? Where do we rely on our own effort instead of His presence? And what happens when life reveals we're weaker than we thought?
Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, we'll discover that God's power is not perfected through our strength, but through our surrender. Because before Pentecost, Peter was drawing strength from Peter. After Pentecost, Peter was drawing strength from the Spirit. And that changes everything.
God is not looking for impressive people. He is looking for dependent people.
