What does it look like to build something that lasts?

Peter’s story reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about getting everything right. He was called by Jesus, stepped out in faith, made mistakes, failed, and was still used by God to help build His Church.

Throughout Scripture, we see two simple rhythms that shape that kind of life: the altar and the table. At the altar, we surrender our lives to God. At the table, we make room for people. One is about devotion to Jesus. The other is about living that devotion out with the people right in front of us.

Building the Kingdom of God doesn’t require a platform, a title, or having all the answers. It looks like ordinary people choosing to follow Jesus faithfully, love people well, and help someone else take their next step toward Him.
