Role Models in Action | Peter, Paul & Jesus | David Gamboa
🕊️ What does it actually look like to say yes when Jesus tells us to GO?
In this message at Dwell New Life City, David Gamboa looks at the lives of Peter, Paul, and ultimately Jesus as examples of what happens when ordinary people surrender their lives to God and walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit.
Paul wasn’t always Paul.
He was Saul—a man who persecuted Christians and actively worked against the early church. But one encounter with Jesus completely transformed his identity and the direction of his life.
The old passed away. The new had come.
Peter’s story is just as powerful. He was an ordinary fisherman who experienced failure, doubt, and even denied Jesus. Yet after encountering the risen Christ and being filled with the Holy Spirit, this same Peter boldly proclaimed the gospel, prayed for the sick, saw miracles, and stood without fear before the religious authorities.
These weren’t perfect people.
They were transformed people.
And the same Holy Spirit who worked through Peter and Paul is still at work in believers today.
This message is a call to move beyond simply admiring the people we read about in Scripture and begin following their example—believing Jesus, obeying His voice, stepping beyond fear, and living the Great Commission.
The world needs the truth.
Our families need the truth.
Our communities need the truth.
Jesus has already given the command: GO.
