Cracking a Tough Nut

Hook: Who in your world is so far from God that you are tempted to give up on this person?

Book: In the midst of rejection, Jesus took the disciples to the side of a rocky mountain and heard the confession He had longed for: You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. In spite of his previous ups and downs, Peter got it right this time. How did he understand so clearly? Jesus explained that this was not revealed by flesh and blood, but by His Father in heaven. The God who opened Peter’s heart would also use him to serve people. God can crack the toughest nut!

Took: Jot down the names of a couple of tough nuts you know, and pray daily for the Father to reveal the truth to them. How could God use you to help soften their hearts?
