Message

LIVES TRANSFORMED
Called, Restored, Empowered”
Passages in John; Acts 2:14-41; 1 Peter 5:5-11

Introduction: The Biblical account of Peter’s restoration gives the reader one of the clearest pictures of a transformed life.

The Called (John 1:40-42) (Luke 5:8) (Matthew 16:13-16)

The Restored

Peter’s Proclamation (John 13:36-37)
Jesus’ Prediction (John 13:38)
Peter’s Repudiation (Denial) (John 18:15-18, 25-27)
Peter’s Restoration (John 21:15-19)

The Empowered

Peter’s Declaration (Acts 2:14-41)
Peter’s Transformation

“You younger men,
follow the leadership of those who are older.  

And all of you serve each other
with humble spirits,
for God gives special blessings
to those who are humble
but sets himself against those who are proud

If you will humble yourselves
under the mighty hand of God,
in his good time he will lift you up.  

Let him have all your worries and cares,
for he is always thinking about you
and watching everything that concerns you.

Be careful—watch out for attacks from Satan,
your great enemy.
He prowls around like a hungry, roaring lion,
looking for some victim to tear apart.  
Stand firm when he attacks.

Trust the Lord; and remember that other Christians
all around the world
are going through these sufferings too.  

After you have suffered a little while,
our God, who is full of kindness through Christ,
will give you his eternal glory.  

He personally will come and pick you up,
and set you firmly in place,
and make you stronger than ever.”   
(1 Peter 5:5-11--TLB)

Conclusion: Godly transformation in your life can only happen when you humbly submit yourself to the Lord. When you acknowledge the cost of your pride and forsake it—trading its destruction for God’s transforming work in your life.
