Take Courage John 16:25-33

Peter Denies Knowing Jesus John 18:15-27

We look at Peter's 3 denials of knowing Jesus while Jesus was on trial.  This is a Father's Day message to encourage dads to not be ashamed of thier relationship with Jesus and to exhort them to lead thier families to follow Jesus and confess His name publically. It is also a story of redemption for all who have fallen short.  Peter's sin is not the end of his life or ministry.  God is gracious and merciful even to those who sin greatly.

Jesus Surrenders to the Authorities John 18:1-14

Jesus Prays for All Believers John 17:20-26
