John 18:11-27 - Audio

What causes us to be filled with courage in one moment, but then cower in fearfulness of others in the next? Looking at Peter from his ear-slicing moment in the garden, to his betrayal of Jesus--three times!--in the courtyard of Annas, we may be tempted to mock Peter and his inability to stand strong. But, instead, if we think carefully we may find that we look a lot like Peter in our own lives. Pastor Steve gave us a challenging message from John 18, looking at ourselves and our own lack of boldness at times, and the ways in which we worry more about what others think than what God thinks of us. Thank God for His grace, both in restoring Peter and using him mightily, but also in His grace to us and our failings!
