Scripture: I Peter 1:1-3; John

Topic: Hope

Notes:

- When we experience great sickness, disappointments, etc., there is hope in Jesus- At the tomb Peter was in despair; he saw that Jesus was alive and hope was restored- Peter fishing, followed Jesus’ instruction, nets full, realized Jesus as Son of God- God calls ordinary people... story of grandmother- Paul was educated, of favor; God call all kinds of people- Peter took his eyes off Jesus and began sinking, call to Jesus and was saved- Peter was willing to get out of the boat; story of hospital visitation (fainting)- Peter knew who Jesus was but misunderstood Him a few times... cut off Malchus’ ear- You can be sincere (as Peter) and still be wrong- Story: at Harris Teeter, tried to stop shopping cart from hitting woman’s car...- Peter’s denial; back to fishing... again Jesus showed up, brought hope
