Sermon Title: "Why Weren't They The 1st? Lessons From Those Who Fell Short"
Sermon Outline:
1. If Peter, James, and John were not the first saved Christians, where did they stumble?
2. True or False: Loving Jesus in the light is not the same as following Him into the dark.
3. True or False: We debate online more than we pray in secret - then wonder why we collapse in temptation.
4. One of the things we learned from Peter and the disciples who fled Jesus arrest is that if my discipleship is a ladder, I'll miss the cross. If it's a basin and towel, I'm getting closer. Do you agree?
5. True or False: God often chooses the humble, the grateful, and the broken to be the first witnesses of His work. Your position or privilege doesn't put you first; your posture of heart does.
