The sermon titled 'God's Grace on Peter' by David Green focuses on the story of Peter, a disciple of Jesus who denied Him during the crucifixion. If Peter were a contemporary preacher, his actions might have led to his disqualification in many religious circles due to his denial and cursing. However, the sermon emphasizes that despite Peter's failings, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God were not done with him. This illustrates the profound concept of grace, highlighting that God's plans and purposes for individuals extend beyond their shortcomings. The sermon serves as a reminder that redemption and forgiveness are always possible, and God's grace can restore and empower individuals to fulfill their calling regardless of past mistakes.
You know, you and I, if Peter was a contemporary preacher, meaning someone that lived in our lifetime, we would have caught wind of what he did at the crucifixion about that time. It's all a dirty scoundrel. He denied them, he cursed, he did what? Disqualified, done, finito. Not gonna pastor or preach anywhere in our circles anymore.
But Jesus was not done with him. The Holy Spirit was not done with him. God was not finished with him.
