The 12 Disciples Series (1 of 12)
Peter the Impetuous
Dennis Marquardt
Matthew 14:26-31; 17:1-4,6 John 6:66-69; 21:7;15-17; Luke 5:1 11; 22:31-32,49-62; 24:12

I. JUMP FIRST! Matt. 14:28-31; Lk. 24:12; Jn. 21:7; 6:66-69
A. Clumsy! Matt. 14:28-31; Lk. 24:12; Jn. 21:7
1. Peter had this thing for "jumping into things!" -- or "jumping" before looking!
a. His nature was to immediately respond to emotional stirrings!
b. This was a double edged sword quality; if the right thing came along he was quick to commit to it, however, around the wrong crowd or the wrong event he could just as easily commit to it or them!
c. This made Peter's life quite in ...
