1 - He Has Made Me Glad
103
I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart,
I will enter His courts with praise.
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad.

Today’s Scripture Reading
Luke 22:55-62
Before The Rooster Crows
Luke 22:55-62
I Love a Good Cliché
How many clichés and proverbs tell us the
importance of preparing ahead of time for
whatever might happen?
• A stitch in time saves nine.
• An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.
• Proper Prior Preparation Prevents Poor
Performance.
• Forewarned is forearmed.
What If The Cliche Isn’t Enough?
•We never truly know how we’ll react to a
situation until we are actually faced with it.
•So Peter discovered. All his preparations and all
his intentions proved to be insufficient when he
was faced with a truly challenging situation.
•Can a deeper understanding of the events
surrounding Peter’s denial of Christ help us to
remain faithful when we are faced with
overwhelming situations?
Peter’s View of Himself
• How Peter saw himself could have contributed
to his failure when faced with the challenge of
the crowd.
• What were the views Peter had of himself that
might have triggered the denial of Jesus in the
courtyard?
Peter Saw Himself as STRONG
• Matthew 26:31-33 -- Then Jesus told them, "This
very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it
is written:
" 'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.‘
• 32But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into
Galilee."
• 33Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of
you, I never will."
Peter Saw Himself as FAITHFUL
• Luke 22:33 --
But he replied, "Lord, I
am ready to go with you to prison and to death."
• Peter Saw Himself as LOYAL
• Matthew 26:35 -- But Peter declared, "Even if I
have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all
the other disciples said the same.
Peter Saw Himself As STEADFAST
Mark 14:27-31 -- "You will all fall away," Jesus told
them, "for it is written:
" 'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.' 28But after I
have risen, I will go ahead of you into
Galilee." 29Peter declared, "Even if all fall away, I
will not."
30"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "today—
yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice you
yourself will disown me three times."
31But Peter insisted emphatically, "Even if I have to
die with you, I will never disown you." And all the
others said the same.
Peter Out of His Element
•He was ready to die – but Jesus wanted
him to live
•He was ready to fight – but Jesus wanted
peace
Matthew 5:9 -- Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
John 14:27 -- Peace I leave with you; my
peace I give you. I do not give to you as the
world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid.
• Peter was ready to defend – but Jesus had to surrender
• John 12:27 -- Now my heart is troubled, and what
shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it
was for this very reason I came to this hour.
Peter and Peer Pressure: What Could Have Helped?
• Peer pressure is a temptation to do what will please
the crowd.
• There are several human emotions which contribute to
peer pressure
– Fear
– Anxiety
– Acceptance
How Can We Resist Peer Pressure?
