Introduction
Have you ever done something you immediately regret?
May be you got into an argument with your spouse.
From that argument, you physically and mentally abused them.
May be you got with the wrong crowd and got drunk or high.
May be you raised your hand to your parents.
May be you have abused your helpless children.
*/May be you are slip, tipping and dipping with a friend.(fornication)
May be you are slip, tipping and dipping with someone else spouse.(adultery)
/*Surely, these are a few regrettable incidents in your life that you wish you could take back or may be you don’t.
*/Peter’s regrets, failure and despair were worst than death./*
*/But thank God, He uses failures!
I am not sure where I would be, if God did not use people who continually mess up./* */Can I get a witness?
/* No matter how deep our regrets my be, Jesus still loves us.
*What can separate us from the love of God? (Rom.
8:37-39) Jesus asked Peter three times, do you love me but also reinstated him three times.*
This same Peter who said, */“Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you on the water.”
/*This same Peter who said, */“Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”
/* This same Peter was regretful.
(v75) */Immediately a rooster crowed.
Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the roster crows, you will disown me three times.”
And he went outside and wept bitterly./*

*Sermon Body*
I believe, Jesus fought the final battle for our soul, in the garden of Gethsemane.
There the Lord was just a stone’s cast away from his disciples and prayed.
He experienced such great anguish that his sweat was like drops of blood.
*/ But Jesus won the war when he said,/* 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
*/ But an angel from heaven strengthened him/*.
How many of you know God to be your strength.
*(Psalm 27/)… The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?/*
* *
*/ /*Jesus asked his disciples to pray so they wouldn’t fall into temptation.
So when Jesus was arrested, one his disciples cut a servants ear.
This is what happens when we don’t pray like we should.
*/We fall into temptation/.*
* *
According to *(Luke 22:60-61)*, …*/Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.
The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter.
/* Just think about some of the things we do and then immediately regret it.
We may assume that we are getting away with things just because no one sees us.
*Jesus turned and looked straight at Peter, but Jesus also turn and look at you.*
Peter figured it's too late.
I've already messed up and blown it.
There's no use trying to get it back together.
No matter how devastating your life my have been, it doesn't have to be an excuse to give up, to throw in the towel.
*/The beauty of God's grace is that he can put you back together again.
God has something better for you to do than just drowning in you regrets.
He will move you beyond your regrets into his marvelous light.

*/ /*
*/ It is the time to finish what you have started: /(Phil 1:6) ….
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.*
*Peter’s Misplaced Confidence*
Peter was a hot head.
A person who would speak or act on impluse, who would just say or do whatever came to mind, right or wrong.
*/Does this sound like someone you know?
/*Peter’s life caved in on him so bad he thought it was over between him and Jesus.
*/Peter, the leader of the twelve disciples, bragged that he would never let the Lord down./*
*(Matt.
26:33)* Peter's failure wouldn't have looked so bad if his timing hadn't been quite so rotten.
*/I believe a lot of Christians are like Peter:/*
· Peter had good intentions
· Peter's promise was a good one
· Peter's vow of faithfulness was solid
We have good spiritual intentions, promises, and vows that we can't carry them out.
*/But with Jesus, I can do all things./*
This why Peter’s world collapsed because he tried to pull off spiritual goals in the power of the flesh.
For in the flesh, Peter had a lot of */self-confidence./*
He just knew that he couldn't and wouldn't fail.
*(Matthew 26:36)*
Peter over estimated his courage and under estimated the weakness of his flesh and the power of temptation.
*(v41) *Jesus addressed Peter, warning him of the ease with which we fall to the temptation to spiritual weariness.
*/(Peter failed to pray three times (vv41,43,45) and then he denied Jesus three times.
/*
*Peter’s disobedience*
Jesus was telling Peter and the disciples to leave, don't stay around here.
*/Peter disobeyed and took matters into his own hands./*
*(John 18:10)* How dare you to take Jesus.
Now most men would applaud Peter.
Hurrah for Peter.
That's a good macho reaction.
Peter missed the point completely.
This was the Father's will for Jesus.
When troubles come our way, we need to know how to face them and to keep them from ruining our lives.
*/We need to make sure we are not analyzing the events from a human and worldly point of view rather than from a divine, spiritual, godly point of view.
/*We are quick to adopt the world's methods.
Some youth today will use guns and violence to solve their disagreements.
Others just use their tongue(unruley) to lie and deceive.
* *
*(John 18:10-11)*
Peter was */a walking time bomb waiting to go off/*.
He failed to pray, he disobeyed when Jesus told him to leave the garden and he acted with a worldly perspective.
When a person is prayer less, disobedient, and worldly, that is a lethal combination.
*/The Bomb goes off/*
*(John 18:12-13)* Peter followed, which he was not suppose to do because Jesus had told him to stay out of this*/.(v16,17)/*
*/The first charge of dynamite being set off:/*
· A promise that cannot be kept.
(Matt.26:35)
· Denial number two (John 18:25)
· Peter began to curse (John 18:26-27; Matt.26:74)
*/ Peter gets leveled/*
Peter's collapse took less than twenty-four hours.
