Sermon: When the Rock Crumbles: The Rise and Fall of Peter – Pastor Darrell Jung
Sermon Outline:
(Encouragement from Romans 8:26–35, 37–39)
Christ’s foreknowledge (v. 31, 34); our folly (v. 24, 33); our adversary (v. 31)
Christ’s faithfulness (v. 32); our failure (v. 56–61)
Christ’s compassion in the face of our failure (v. 61)
Notice that the Lord turns towards Peter–not away from him.
He knows our frame; remembers that we are dust.
Christ’s commitment (v. 32)–and the knowing smile of our Savior
Christ’s commitment
His keeping prayers
His keeping ministry (the preservation of the saints)
His knowing smile
He knows what we will one day be
Until that day–He accepts us; delights in us; restores us–from our brokenness and into His very image
The Restoration and Refreshment of Christ (v. 32; John 21:15–19)
