In this sermon, Pastor Jim examines Peter's three denials of Jesus as recorded in Mark 14:66-72, contrasting Peter's earlier bold declarations of loyalty with his fearful denials when confronted. The pastor explores how sinful fear led Peter to keep a distance from Jesus, deceive others, and deny his faith rather than declare it boldly. Despite Peter's failures, the message emphasizes that Jesus had predicted this would happen and that Peter's restoration was already planned. The sermon concludes by showing Peter's complete restoration through Jesus' forgiveness and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, transforming him from a fearful denier into a bold witness who would later preach courageously and write letters encouraging others facing similar struggles with fear.
