False confession

Big idea:
How to live out kingdom convictions under life's pressures

1# Stay humble for we'll inevitably falter
Luke 22:3
Luke 4:13
Luke 22:31-34

"Sift u like wheat"
- Is a Warfare language, indicating Satan seeking to shake believers like wheat to cause us to fall

"Turned again"
- Peter had repented
1. Stopping in your sin
2. Turn around in opposite direction
3. Walk towards God and walk with Him

"And when you have turned again"
- one can even repent from denying Christ
- he knows that human opposition will cause us to crumble

1 peter 5:5
- Your faith may falter but not destroyed, stay humble

2# Surrender ourselves daily to His lordship
Luke 22:54-62

Yielding to temptation isn't just about doing the wrong thing, but also not doing the right thing

Where our Own safety and personal well being stand during critical times of the lord?

Hebrews 7:25

Jesus is praying for us even when we have denied Him

Even when we fail Jesus we must remember that Jesus can still use us so long as I turned back.

Are you afraid to say "no" to sin or are you afraid to confess your faith in the face of your friends?
And let these fears and bad influence to Wash over you and silence you?

Matt 10:26-33
Luke 24:12
Who Jesus is to you depends on what resurrection means to you
- who is Jesus to you?

3# Stay the course despite our shortcomings

Glorifying God in our pursuits has nothing to do with our grades and performance but His Grace and His purpose in our lives

Luke 22:23
John 21:18-19

False confession can feel like flat out lies, offensive, meaningless and insincere.

Luke recorded some false confession made by Jesus disciples and friends
