A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” “Man, I am not!” Peter replied. About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.” Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.” ‭‭Luke 22:54-62 “When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬ INTRODUCTION: Failure is not final.  Movements start with movement: * Peter overestimates his strength.

Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses." - Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Scripture Text: Matthew 16:22-23. "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; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."" Movements start with movement... 1. Peter gets revelation, but still lacks maturity.
