Peter's Story: From Failure to Purpose

 • Ben Webb • Series: Red Letters

What do we do with our repeated sin after we've already accepted Jesus? We know that we've been called to follow Jesus. We know that we're called to new life. We know that the Holy Spirit is active and that it's helpful in helping shape us and make us into what God wants us to be. But … it doesn't happen with the snap of the fingers. It doesn't happen overnight. Which means, even though we're in a good relationship with God now because of Jesus, and even though we've experienced forgiveness, and even though Jesus has made things right … we still carry guilt, and we still carry shame. And, we assume that God feels the same way we would. We assume He's disappointed in us. We assume He points the finger at us in our sin and our failures because we point the finger at ourselves for our sin and our failures. Is that true?
