  4. Misguided zeal and good intentions lead us into error Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. (Romans 10:1-3 ESV)

  5. Misguided zeal and good intentions lead us into error And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. (2 Timothy 2:24-26 ESV)

  6. Misguided zeal and good intentions lead us into error As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. (Romans 14:1-3 ESV)

  7. Peter had good intentions • Let his zeal carry him too far • Seemed to have trouble in the clinches Mt. 26:59-75- in face of a servant girl Mt. 26:56- fled with other disciples Gal. 2:11-12- guilty of partiality

  8. We need to prepare our minds for the pressure plays You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. (2 Peter 3:17-18 ESV)

  9. Peter had good intentions • Let his zeal carry him too far • Seemed to have trouble in the clinches • Peter would not give up We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 ESV) Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4 ESV)

  10. Peter had good intentions • Let his zeal carry him too far • Seemed to have trouble in the clinches • Peter would not give up • Peter grew in his faith When one participates with the Holy Spirit, growth results Mt. 14:31- fearful, “of little faith” Acts 4:13- “boldness” Acts 5:42- fearlessly continued

  11. Peter had good intentions • Let his zeal carry him too far • Seemed to have trouble in the clinches • Peter would not give up • Peter grew in his faith • Peter was the object of special attention “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22:31-32 ESV) God takes the unimpressive and makes it impressive
