Matthew 26:69-75
Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly

The Word
Peter denied Jesus three times, despite claiming he would never do so, after Jesus's arrest. While Jesus was on trial, Peter was questioned by a servant girl and then by others about his association with Jesus. Each time, Peter denied knowing Jesus, leading to his intense sorrow after he heard a rooster crow and remembered Jesus's prophecy. This event is known as Peter's Repentance of Peter and highlights his humanity, but also Jesus's forgiveness and Peter's later restoration as a leader in the early church.
For the final letter of the SOUL challenge is L for loyalty.
After reading this story about Peter we can all put ourselves in his shoes or maybe we think we could have done better?
The word loyalty in today standards is thrown around and taken with a pinch of salt.
Human loyalty there isn’t much of it. What are you loyal to in your life. Is it your job, your wife, your count, your church? How about God? Are you loyal to God?
Yeh off course we are!! We are all Christian men rock SOLiD!
But we all know it’s easy to be loyal God when everything is going good like Peter. When the miracles are flowing and you haven’t made any mistakes. But my question is to you do you remain loyal when this get a little uncomfortable . Like when the people start about your faith or you have to have a hard word with a family member or even keeping yourself in check. Or do you let yourself off the hook.
Human loyalty is location and has terms and conditions.
But Gods loyal no matter where you are! His loyalty is like nothing we know on earth. - God remains loyal to Abraham for 400 years.
He isn’t like your mother or father or brother and sisters or mates that can leave he is loyal to the end.
God is even loyal to you in your unbelief. Gods loyalty is consistent.
Can I encourage you by saying God won’t treat you like you treat him.
As we head into our week this week I want us to lean into Gods loyalty and be loyal ourselves to Him.
