What is the second sin?When we sin, that is the first sin; but staying away from God afterward out of discouragement or guilt is the second sin, which is the most dangerous one because it keeps us from receiving full forgiveness.
God speaks to us todayBecause Jesus rose from the dead and is alive, He still speaks to His people today, guiding us through practical, simple words that bring peace and rest.
Practical words from the LordThe speaker shares personal examples of simple instructions God gave him, such as being happy, smiling, and learning to stay quiet in marriage to let God work.
Be the person you needed when you were youngerBelievers have a responsibility to invest in younger children and teenagers who are looking for an example, just as older believers did for them.
Going fishing after failureJust like Peter and the disciples who felt like failures and went back to their old lives, we often face times of discouragement and seemingly blocked paths.
Jesus meets us in our failureJesus shows up when we have reached the end of ourselves, directing us to cast our nets again and offering intimate fellowship over breakfast.
Do you love me more than these?Jesus asks Peter if he loves Him above all the miracles and victories, before restoring him and repeating the call to follow Him.
God turns the tables on the devilGod allows us to be sifted and broken so that our self-will is destroyed, using our very failures to shape us and turn the tables on Satan.
