** We apologize but the internet went down at the very last part of the sermon so it didn't get recorded.

Summary

What do you say when you’ve failed someone like Peter did? What do you expect when you come face to face with the One you denied? You have to wonder if Peter is thinking, Does He still want me? Did I just disqualify myself? Is there any future left for me after that?

Sermon Questions

1. Peter had many faithful moments, yet he is remembered for his denial.
   Why do you think our failures tend to define us more than our faithfulness?
2. Jesus intentionally recreates the setting of Peter’s failure (the fire).
   What does this tell you about how Jesus deals with our past rather than avoiding it?
3. Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?”
   What do you think Jesus is restoring in Peter through this repetition?
4. The sermon says, “Shame doesn’t just remind you of what you did—it tells you who you are.”
   Where have you seen that play out in your own life?
5. Peter likely wondered, “Am I disqualified?”
   Have you ever felt disqualified by something in your past? What did that do to your relationship with God?
