But on the night of Jesus' arrest and trial Peter turned on Jesus. He denied ever even knowing Him. How could this happen? How could such a strong man fall so completely? In this sermon, we will see how the location of Peter's confidence, the longing of Peter's enemy, and the love of Peter's God all conspired to lead him to such a terrible and gracious collapse.
