Burden #2: Failure (Peter)
In this message we turn our attention to the Apostle Peter and the topic of failure. Once again, this is pretty universal. We all fail. For some, it results in later success. For others, failure becomes a burden carried around for the rest of their lives, keeping them from experiencing the joy God wants for us.
Peter failed over and over again. His life provides multiple lessons for us as we face our own failures, because how we respond to the disappointments and personal disasters will dictate whether or not we are truly successful in the eyes of the only one who matters: God.
