Title: Faith and Failure in the Christian Walk
Who Do You think of as bold?
Moses Bold before the Lord.
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
>How do you become bold?
Galatians 2:9, John 1:40-42, Matthew 16:13-19
“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock[a] I will build my church, and the gates of hell[b] shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[c] in heaven.”
>Trial Bring Growth
Matthew 14:28-31 Why did Jesus say to Peter, "You of little faith."?
>Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
Matthew 16:21-23
Where was Peter setting his mind on? What do we focus on?
>The Transfiguration
Matthew 17:1-6
Who do we listen to?
>Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial
Matthew 26:30-44, 26:69-75
Why did Peter deny Christ? Do we do the same?
>Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples
John 21
>The Beloved Disciple and His Book
Does Jesus restore Peter? Will he restore us?
>Gentiles Part of the Covenant
Acts 10:34, Acts 15:7-11
What is there to learn?
Beware after success
In the trials remember past victories
Set your mind on things above
Be slow to react and speak
Don't be wise in your own eyes |
