PETER
Tells Jesus to “go away”
Sinks in water (lack of faith)
Fighting over “being the greatest”
Rebukes Jesus to His face
Fell asleep when Jesus asked for help
Cuts off soldiers ear
Goes back to fishing
Asks about “other disciple”
Hypocritical people pleaser
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”
– Luke 5:8
But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink.
Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”
– Matthew 14:30-31
He (Jesus) asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.
– Mark 9:33-34
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me
– Matthew 16:22-23
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”
Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour?”
– Mark 14:34 & 37
Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them.
When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
– John 21:20-21
But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile believers, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore.
– Galatians 2:11-13
Peter’s flaws didn’t have the final say in his life
God’s grace and power had the final say in his life
Foundation of Flaws
How we see ourselves
How we see others
How we see God
Our relationship with Jesus redefines how we see everything
Grace – in Jesus
Truth – in Jesus
Unfailing Love – in Jesus
A daily relationship with Jesus turns our weaknesses into wins through God’s grace and truth
