Peter's Denial | John Elmore | Harris Creek Sermons

About this sermon

Pastor John dives into Luke 22:54–62, where Peter—one of Jesus’ closest friends—denies even knowing Him, not once but three times. Jon keeps it real, pointing out that like Peter, we can be quick to talk big about our faith, but when pressure hits, our confidence can crumble. He challenges us to get honest with ourselves: Are we aware of how weak we really are? Are there moments when we’re low-key embarrassed to rep Jesus? And do we actually feel the weight of our sin, or just brush it off? Are you aware your flesh will fail? Are you tempted anywhere to be ashamed of Jesus? Are you grieved over the gravity of your sin? Life Group Discussion: What’s an area of your life where you tend to overestimate your own strength or self-control? What situations challenge your boldness when it comes to living for Jesus publicly? When you mess up, are you more likely to justify it, ignore it, or actually feel convicted?
