Trials to Triumphs Luke 22:31-34
Friendly Fire • The Events Leading up to Jesus’ Death • Luke 22:54-61 • Peter was around the trial • Ignorance to Cursing • The Look • How do we feel about Peter?
Can We Relate to Peter? • Have you ever thought “I’d never fall to that temptation?” • Have you ever been blindsided by a weakness you didn’t know about? • Have you ever been ashamed of a sin in your life? • Have you ever thought yourself worthless and useless?
Jesus’ Perspective • Luke 22:31-34 • Satan demanded to have you • that your faith may not fail • I have prayed for you • And when you have turned again • Strengthen your brothers • Did Jesus see this as a bad event?
Peter Strengthens His Brothers • Initiates Appointing of Matthias (Acts 1) • Speaks on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) • Heals Lame Man & Proclaims Again (Acts 3) • Faces Trial Head On (Acts 4) • Confronts Sin within the Church (Acts 5) • Helps the Samarians Get Started (Acts 8) • Gets out of His Comfort Zone (Acts 10) • Imprisoned (Acts 12) • Crucified Upside Down
Can We Relate to Peter? • Do we see the spiritual significance of actions in this world? • Do we understand our spiritual weaknesses? • Do we trust in prayer? • Can we admit our faults? • Are we strengthening our brethren?
We can be triumphant in strengthening our brethren when we have overcome trials
