Peter as a Model of Personal Ministry

This week we will look at Acts 9:32-43 and follow Peter as an example of personal ministry. Peter is likely the head of the original Apostles, and probably seen as the head of Christendom in general. The exact leadership structure of the church at this time is not spelled out anywhere, but it appears to be run by the twelve that were closest to Jesus when Jesus walked on the Earth. If that is true, the Peter does appear to be like a chairman to that group. Whatever his actual position was, what we should see here is that Peter was a very important man, and would have had a lot of demands on his time.
