Bouncing Back After Failure!

Who is This Jesus?

Bouncing Back After Failure!

Mark 14:27-31, 66-72, John 21:15-17

1.We will all !

Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice you will disown me three times.” And he broke down and wept. Mark 14:72

Two Causes of Failure

Confidence

Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.” “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times.” But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same. Mark 14:29-31

Preparation

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon” he said to Peter, “are you sleeping? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” Mark 14:37

2. My doesn’t change God’s about me

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times.” Mark 14:30

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee.  Mark 16:6-7

3. Failure is an not my

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.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me? Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. John 21:15-17

Getting back up after Failure

it, and God’s Forgiveness

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers. Luke 22:31-32

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9

God can use my to impact Somebody’s

Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd…Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. Acts 2:14,41
