Looking Back 1. How are you growing and applying what youve learned in the last week? Explore What does Mark 14:54 reveal about Peters spiritual condition when it says he followed him at a distance and sat with the guards?

According to John 21:1517, how does Jesus lovingly restore Peter after his failure, and what does this teach us about redemption through repeated questioning?

Which of these challenges are you currently facing, and how are you responding in light of Jesus example of standing firm (Mark 14:62)? Looking at Peters progression from denial to restoration, what does this sermon encourage you to do if you find yourself distant from Christ today?
