We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

These stories after Jesus. So we're really talking about what started manifesting in the

disciples after the whole end time story. After Jesus told them about the end time, it started pulling

stuff out of them. Amen. so we want to make sure we

get an understanding so as they were talking among themselves like we talked about last week about

which one of us is the greatest which one of us arrogance begin to set in them and peter of course

the unlearned one had the most arrogance because he had to prove to the others that he had proved his

value to the others think about it now I want you all to get a good understanding now the others were

you know master craftsmen's at this and that but a lot of them were learned Luke was a doctor

they had degrees and different things and Peter was the unlearned one so he had the street

knowledge so in order for him to

equate himself with the others, he had to put himself on a pedestal and let him know, okay, well,

I can't be smarter than these guys. So it means I'm more loyal. That means I'm more faithful to the

Lord. That means that I got the Lord's back no matter what. See, the rest of y'all, you know, y'all, you know, but I got his back.

And this is when Jesus saw what was manifesting in Peter and had to deal with what was in Peter.

Amen? Luke 22 and 31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you that he may sift you as what?

Sift you like wheat.

And if you understand anything about the sifting of wheat, there's two kinds.

Back in the day, they used to thresh wheat on a threshing floor and they will beat the wheat stalks to try to get the wheat seed that was good for putting back. And, you know, grains weren't the ideal food.

Grains would just keep. They would keep longer. So whenever there were times of famine, they would

save grain. They would store grain because grain would keep and they could make things. But

outside of that, they really did not eat grains. But back then, it would keep and they could make things, but outside of that, they really did not eat,
