PETER DENIES THE LORD JESUS

Peter’s initial courage

“Woman, I don’t know Him”

Just as Jesus predicted, Peter denies the Lord three times

HOW IS PETER’S DENIAL DIFFERENT THAN JUDAS’ BETRAYAL?
(Matthew 27:3)

WHAT HAPPENS TO PETER AFTER HE DENIES JESUS?

Peter sees the empty tomb and meets the risen Lord (Luke 24:11-12)

Peter preaches to a huge crowd on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:23-26)

WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE DEFINED BY OUR MISTAKES OR SINS
(1 John 1:9)

WE SHOULDN’T DEFINE OTHERS BY THEIR MISTAKES OR SINS

THE LORD GIVES US COURAGE TO BE FAITHFUL WITNESSES

By the grace of God, empowered by the Spirit, we can have the courage to be who God has called us to be and do what God has called us to do
