Finding Forgiveness and Restoration in Failure!

Failure is No Stranger to God’s People!

¬ Jesus’ Word of Peter’s Failure. Mark 14:27-31
¬ Peter’s Failure and Fall! Matthew 26:69-75

Luke 22:61 Immediately while He was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told Him, “Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times” 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.

1st Principle: Humble Yourself /Pride Destroys, Humility Saves!

Even As Believers in Christ, You Have the Propensity to Fail!

Proverbs 16:18 Pride Goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall!

1 Corinthians 10:12 Let him who things He stands take heed lest He fall!

Romans 12:3 For through the grace given me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think;

James 4:6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Pride: When you leave here and say, sure hope so and so heard that. Wish so and so was here, the preacher was talking about her! Pride Says, “I Will” Humility Says, “God Will!” Pride Says: It’s You, or It’s Them! Humility Says: it’s Me!

2nd Principle: If Sin is Not Checked, Your Sin Becomes Greater!

Failure is no stranger to God’s People, but Neither is Gods’ Love, Forgiveness and Restoration!

¬ Jesus’ Promise of Peter’s Repentance, Forgiveness and Restoration!

Luke 22:31 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; 32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again strengthen your brothers.

3rd Principle: Your Failure Does Not Separate You Nor Does it Disqualify You From God’s Incredible Love, Forgiveness and Restoration!

John 21 Peter Finds Forgiveness and Restoration!
