  1. Why Jesus Did Not Reject Apostle Peter? 31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:  32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:31-32 October 5, 2008

  2. Apostle Peter: A Stone • Cephas: A Stone – Fidelity to Christ • John 1:41-42 • 41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. • 42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. • Peter: A Disciple – Submission to Christ • Luke 5:10-11 • 10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. • 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

  3. Apostle Peter: His Faith • Peter: His Weak Faith • Matthew 14:29-31 • 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. • 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. • 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? • Peter: His Firm Faith • Matthew 16:18 • And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

  4. Apostle Peter: His Love • Peter: His Failed Love • Luke 22:60-62 • 60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. • 61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. • 62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. • Peter: His Firm Love • John 21:17 • He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

  5. Lively Stones • I Peter 2:5-6 • 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. • 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. • Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone. • You, the Christians, are lively stones or a spiritual house. • You, the Christians, are an holy priesthood.
