The Miracle of Rock-Forming
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
John 1.35-42
This morning we learned some things about throwing rocks. Now tonight .. we're thinking about becoming rocks!
So take your Bible and join me in John's gospel, chapter 1. We're thinking tonight about The Miracle of Rock Forming! For once you come to know the Lord Jesus Christ through salvation, God begins the miracle of rock forming!
Did you know that God's in the process of making you into a rock? Not a literal rock .. though I've met a few folks whose heads remind me of a rock. Not a literal rock .. but a rock-like character: strong .. solid, stable .. and sure!

Well .. let's see how God turned Simon into Peter and what He uses today to do the same with us. I want to begin reading in John 1 verse 35 as we think together about ...
''The Miracle of Rock Forming'' John 1.35-42
So .. how did Jesus take a Simon and turn him into a Rock? The same way He does it with us! To begin with, we read here that ..
JESUS CAPTURED HIM.
So how did the Lord capture this fisherman?
-through His promise. (v.42)
Verse 42, ''And he brought him to Jesus.'' Who did? His brother Andrew! Whenever you read about Andrew .. he's always bringing people to Jesus! Here we read that he brings his ...
