Why I Believe in Jesus Christ
Ike Reighard
Introduction:
In this passage of Scripture, we see Simon Peter go from the height of hearing God's voice to the low of listening to the voice of Satan. Jesus wanted to know at Caesarea Philippi (God pan and his statue) who men said that He was. Simon got the right answer, then a few minutes later he slipped into carnality and tried to present Jesus from carrying out God's mission.

You can know about Lincoln, Kennedy, Reagan or Bush, yet not personally know them. To truly know a person, you must experience them. I became a believer in Jesus Christ for several reasons.
A.I had a spiritual void.
Lack of purpose.
***Baptized to play baseball. Died Yankee Stadium.
B. I had spiritual influence around me.

Her dad.
Her grandmother's death. Peace in the midst of tragedy.
John Yarbrough.
C. The Holy Spirit convicted me.
D. The Scriptures convinced me.
E. My own personal changes assured me.
I did not turn over a new leaf, I had a new life.
I did not have just a profession, I had ...
