1 Peter 5:13
DESCRIPTION: Funeral for a godly man based upon the life of Peter - especially someone who loved fishing.

CHRISTIAN MAN - Both Peter and Bob were Christian men. Peter was called by Jesus to leave everything and follow him. And Peter answered that call. So did Bob. Bob was baptized into Christ as a young man. He loved the Lord and he loved the church. He taught the Wor ...
