你會否認耶穌嗎? Would You Disown Jesus?
耶穌在被暴民逮捕前，曾要求門徒在客西馬尼園警醒禱告，因為祂明白，他們僅憑人的力量，不足以應付即將到來的試煉。本週日，張國強牧師告誡我們切勿過於自滿，因為倚靠自己的力量，可能會導致我們辜負了主。
Jesus asked His disciples to keep watch and pray in the Garden of Gethsemane before the mob came for Him because their human strength would not be enough for the trials ahead. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung warns us against overconfidence, as relying on our own strength may lead us to fail the Lord.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
- Share a time you felt pressured to hide, downplay, or compromise your faith. How did that experience impact your faith moving forward?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
- Read the passage. What were the stages of Peter’s denial?
- After Peter denied Jesus, what caused him to realize what he had done, and how did he respond?
4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)
- In what ways do you tend to be overconfident in your spiritual life, just like Peter?
- When you fail or sin, do you turn to Jesus or hide in shame? Where is this response rooted?
5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)
- What practical steps can you take to guard yourself against spiritual pride and overconfidence?
- Who can you encourage or strengthen using your own experiences of failure and God’s grace?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
- Praise the Lord for His deep understanding of your weaknesses and His unfailing grace, even when we fail. Thank Him that He does not reject us in our moments of denial or weakness, but instead looks at us with mercy and love. Rejoice that His forgiveness restores us and that He can use even our failures to strengthen others and bring glory to His name.
- Repent for the times you have been prideful, thinking you’re spiritually strong on your own, and for the moments you have denied or compromised your faith out of fear or pressure. Ask for forgiveness for relying on your own strength instead of depending on God. Pray that your heart would be transformed—softened to recognize your weakness, quick to turn back to Jesus, and willing to fully trust in His grace.
