0:15.2	I'll be there, and Dr. Derek Thomas and Pastor Ken Jones will be our teachers as they lead us through the rich
0:21.4	theological truths of Galatians 3. Enjoy eight days of teaching, refreshment, and fellowship
0:28.1	when you travel with us on this Caribbean study cruise. You can learn more and register at
0:33.7	Ligonier Tours.com. I hope to see you there. Now on to today's episode.

1:41.7	Jesus uses people who are not perfect. He uses somebody like Peter, and he gives
1:47.4	him another chance and another, and that's really helpful to know that the Jesus I love is the Jesus
1:54.5	who loved Peter. The Apostle Peter, he denied Jesus not once, not twice, but three times.
2:08.3	He seemed to find it easy to put his foot in his mouth, even once telling Jesus, far be it from
2:13.5	you, after hearing that Jesus would be going to die and then rising again on the third day.
