You Have What It Takes to Overcome Adversity with Faith (Luke 22:31-34)

This powerful sermon explores Peter’s bold declaration of loyalty to Jesus (Luke 22:33) and his subsequent denial (Luke 22:54-62). Dr. Hawkins emphasizes that, like Peter, believers "have what it takes" to overcome any obstacle—physical, financial, or emotional—through Christ. However, the message also warns against the danger of following Jesus "from a distance" (Luke 22:54), allowing fear, betrayal, or external pressures to create separation. Through Peter’s story, Dr. Hawkins challenges listeners to examine their own faithfulness under pressure, reject the lie that distancing themselves from God brings safety, and remember that Jesus "has already done enough" to deserve our unwavering trust and praise.
