Peter's denial of Jesus was a result of his overconfidence and his refusal to fully let go of the things of the world. After denying Jesus three times, the rooster's crow would always become a reminder to Peter of his betray in a moment of weakness.

Pt 11 – Failed Again
April 3, 2016 • Dr. Bobby Blanton
Peter was instrumental in opening many doors for the gospel to be heard throughout the world. As he now travels to a mostly Gentile church at Antioch, Peter shows his flaws again by becoming legalistic and submitting to peer pressure. Open your bibles to Galatians as we see how Paul corrects Peter and puts him back on the right track.
Pt 8 – Overcome By Overconfidence
March 13, 2016 • Dr. Bobby Blanton
Oftentimes Satan attacks our strengths rather than our weaknesses. Jesus warned Simon Peter that Satan asked to "sift" him in order to bring Simon Peter to a point of failure. God uses those moments of overconfidence to shape and mold us to being a more effective disciple.
