Easter in Our Eyes | Week 2

Easter In Our Eyes – Week 2: The Backslider (Peter)Luke 22:54–62 | Pastor Craig TurnbullEaster isn’t just for those who get it right. It’s for those who fall.In Week 2 of Easter In Our Eyes, Pastor Craig Turnbull walks us through one of the most painful and relatable moments in Scripture: Peter’s denial of Jesus. A man who walked with Christ, fought for Him, and boldly declared loyalty… now stands by a fire and says, “I don’t know Him.”And then Jesus looks at him.This message is a powerful reminder that backsliding doesn’t happen all at once. It begins small… and grows.• It starts by losing the smallest battles• It leads to increasing compromise• It happens fully in the sight of God• And it is broken through true repentance Peter’s story shows us something we all need to hear:You are not too far gone.You have not disqualified yourself.Easter is for you too.That look from Jesus wasn’t anger, disappointment, or shame. It was compassion. A Savior who knew Peter would fail… and still chose the cross anyway. If you’ve been drifting… if your faith isn’t where it once was… if you’re carrying guilt or shame from failure… this message is for you.Because the heart of Easter is this:Jesus doesn’t run from broken people. He restores them.Easter is for backsliders. Easter is for you.
