Series: How Embarrassing
Joey Rodgers
Matthew 26:47-56
Embarrassment is that sense of emotional discomfort and self-consciousness before others where you feel exposed, awkward, and possibly humiliated for having a social faux pas or undesirable moment that's witnessed by others.
We've all been there done that. We've experienced the joy of saying/doing something that's turned our faces red and caused us to we wish for a mulligan.
At the SBC, I was reminded by my pastor friends how easy it is to embarrass ourselves in ministry - when say something out of context, misspeak a word, or find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. Billy Graham once told of the time when he asked a boy for directions to the post office. After getting directions, he invited the boy to his Crusade that evening - saying, ''If you come, you can hear me tell everyone how to get to heaven.'' The boy looked at Mr. Graham and said, ''I don't think I'll be there. You don't even know your way to the post office.''
If you're just joining us, we're finishing a series entitled, How Embarrassing! In this series we've been looking at the ways we can embarrass ourselves in our faith b/c we get so heavenly-minded we become no earthly good as we choose to do things in God's name He doesn't need us to do.
From a few incidences from the life of Peter, we've discussed how we can embarrass ourselves. In week 1, from the time Jesus walked on water and disciples sulked/sank - we discussed how we can talk about living by faith only to live our lives by flesh. In week 2, in Peter's exchange w/ Jesus on forgiveness, we learned how we can embarrass ourselves when as forgiven people we can be unforgiving. In week 3, Pastor Art shared from Peter's denial, how we can embarrass ourselves when we proclaim Jesus w/ our lips but deny Him w/ our lives.
Today I want to look at a story involving Peter when he felt compelled to defend the honor of Jesus - and in so do ...
