The apostle Peter was likely the most vocal of Jesus’ twelve disciples. He’s the one who vehemently declared he’d never desert Christ. So what caused Him to deny Jesus after His arrest? Consider the possibilities along with Alistair Begg on Truth For Life.

Do I deny my Lord with deed or word? Oh, I pray not! Help me Jesus, to walk with you day by day.

John Piper gives 5 reason’s it is WRONG to attend a homosexual "wedding."
"One, it is not a wedding, because it is not a marriage. Therefore, attending it as a wedding is to be false, like everyone there is being false. There is no such thing as a so-called same-sex marriage. God has defined marriage as a covenantal union for life between a man and a woman as husband and wife. This isn’t that. Therefore, this is not a marriage, and this is not a wedding. I am not going to lie about it by going.
Two, this union, if you can dare to call it that, is not being joined in heaven. Jesus said, “What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate” (Matthew 19:6). This is what makes weddings awesome. They are not human accomplishments. God joins a man and a woman. In Mark 10:9 Jesus said that marriage is made in heaven — not between two people merely or by a pastor or a judge. This pairing of two men or two women is not being joined in heaven. And to give the impression that it is, is an offense to heaven.
Three, the blessing of this event would be hateful. It would be hateful for me to do it, because it would be confirming a life and a lifestyle that will lead to hell. The apostle Paul said, “Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9–10). They won’t. God designed marriage to display Christ’s covenant to his bride, the church. To celebrate this lifestyle is to celebrate the destruction of human beings, and that is hateful. It would be like gathering to celebrate theft, gathering to celebrate drunkenness, gathering to celebrate swindling. It would be like saying, “Let’s all have a meeting and celebrate greed. Let’s all have a meeting and celebrate adultery.” Anybody that joins in celebrating sin is sinning. I shouldn’t sin.
Four, this ceremony will defile the drama of Christ and the church. God designed marriage to display Christ’s covenant to his bride, the church. To celebrate a brideless union as marriage is to distort and deface the parable of the most beautiful act in the world.
Five, I wouldn’t go because the weight of sorrow and love and revulsion would probably overwhelm me. I don’t think I could probably get through the ceremony.
And the last thing I would say is: My not going is not my drawing away from my child — but his drawing away from me. I am where I have always been: arms wide open to the home-coming prodigal, ready to forgive anything."
"Let us deny ourselves as vehemently as Peter denied the Lord." Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Wow
I'm thankful for pastor Begg and the ability to listen to his teachings! Praying God will keep and protect him like He did Nehemiah during all the attacks and plots against him! 📖☕🔆
Good morning everyone! Thank you Pastors Begg and Lepine. Eternally grateful for the food you nourish us with. May we grasp it so we may grow.
I picture that gaze and can only imagine how it looked on both Jesus and Peter.
Jesus denied
However later he was glorified
Im 62 and have had a weak faith, denying Jesus most my life…but recently He has been calling me to turn, really turn, to Him. Thank you Lord.
❤
Good morning to all who come and receive a good word.
In Jesus’ Holy Name,
Amen.

Jeremiah 32:26-27
English Standard Version
26 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?
I agree with you, Pastor Begg. It is the memory of passed sin and regret that enables me to look to Christ and press on. It is His amazing grace that saved me. Amen.
Just caught this on my way home..beautiful sermon🙏🇬🇧.No one know or loves you like Jesus.
