Peter was strong-willed with good intentions but never capable to
maintain his commitment in his own strength.

rooster crowed.

instructed by the Lord.


Peter’s call is not revoked but recommissioned by Jesus around a
charcoal fire and breakfast.





Discussion Questions





Besides Jesus himself, where do you escape to find safety?


Have you experienced emotional or situational triggers? Explain.


Pastor Bob talked about redemption in his life coming full circle
from what used to create a trigger (trauma of a sudden loss of a
friend to now ministering to those who are dying). Have you had
similar pattern of redemption?


How can we exchange our old patterns of emotional security and
turn them into an opportunity for closeness with Christ?
