POINT 1: GOOD INTENTIONS DO NOT GUARANTEE STRONG FOLLOW-THROUGH
BIG TRUTH: WANTING TO DO RIGHT IS IMPORTANT, BUT WANTING TO DO RIGHT IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING SPIRITUALLY PREPARED TO STAND UNDER PRESSURE.
POINT 2: FAILURE IS PAINFUL, BUT IT CAN BECOME TRANSFORMATIVE
BIG TRUTH: PAINFUL FAILURE CAN BECOME A HOLY TURNING POINT WHEN IT EXPOSES OUR NEED FOR GOD.
POINT 3: JESUS RESTORES PEOPLE HE STILL HAS PURPOSE FOR
BIG TRUTH: JESUS DOES NOT DISCARD PEOPLE HE INTENDS TO RESTORE.
POINT 4: FAILURE IS NOT FINAL WHEN YOU LET GOD WORK THROUGH IT
BIG TRUTH: BROKENNESS SURRENDERED TO GOD CAN BECOME MATURITY, COMPASSION, AND STRENGTH.
WAYS TO LIVE PETER’S LESSON
1. DO NOT LET FAILURE BECOME YOUR IDENTITY
2. BRING YOUR MISTAKES HONESTLY TO JESUS
3. RECEIVE RESTORATION INSTEAD OF LIVING IN SHAME
4. LET YOUR FAILURES DEEPEN YOUR DEPENDENCE ON GOD
RESPONSE / PRAYER MOMENT
“Lord, keep me from making failure my identity.”
“Lead me away from those things that I so easily sin when tempted.”
“Lord, help me bring my mistakes honestly to You.”
“Heal the shame connected to my past.”
“Lord, use even my broken places to deepen my dependence on You.”
