About this listen

 Peter begins as a bold, brash, spiritually dull disciple, but after Pentecost he changes. God forms him into a powerful foundation for the emerging church. By exploring each of the instances where he appears in the Bible, we seek to learn how we can grow as disciples ourselves.© 2025, Ralph F. Wilson. All rights reserved.

    Peter is given the keys to the kingdom and the power to bind and loose, that is, to forgive and not forgive sins. Explores the power of absolution from sin and the need for repentance or penitence. Concludes that human minister forgiving sin consists of announcing God’s forgiveness based on Christ's promises to the penitent, but that only God actually forgives sin.

    Traces leadership from elders in the early church to a monarchial episcopacy. Examines the terms “father,” “pope,” and “pontiff.” Differentiates between the primacy of Peter which is clear in Matthew 16, and the primacy of the Roman bishop or Pope which evolved gradually over time.
