Recalculating: Moving Forward

Matthew 26:33-35, 69-75; John 21:15-19

Introduction

 

Romans 5:20 but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.

 

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

 

Instead of seeing your struggle and past as a stopping place, begin to view it as a starting point to learn, grow, and recalculate.

 

It’s not that our desires or the destination are wrong—it’s that God has to develop our faith before we can move forward into the future.

 

1. Mistaken Declaration (Matthew 26:33–35)

 

• We often don’t know ourselves like God knows us.

 

• We often don’t know where we need to grow.

 

Quote: “There, but for the grace of God, go I.” —John Bradford

 

2. Making a Mess (Matthew 26:69-75)

 

3. Moving Forward (John 21:15-19)

 

We often need GRACE to begin moving forward in the right direction.

 

Life isn’t always about WHERE you are going or WHAT you are doing, but WHO you are becoming. When your faith is deepening, God will direct you!

 

“When you make mistakes, don’t let them get you down. And don’t let yourself think of them as stigmas. Make each failure a step to success.”

 

God uses people who fail—'cause there aren’t any other kind around.
