"When Failure Isn't Final" (Peter's Denial)

About this episode

The episode explores Peter's denial of Christ and his eventual restoration, emphasizing that failure is not final for true believers.

In contrast with our message about Judas, we take a look at Peter's denial of Christ. It is recorded in all four gospels. Peter was filled with pride and presumption, and it led to his temporary demise. But Peter came back from his epic failure to lead the Apostles and the early church. What made the difference for Peter? We will look at the reason for Peter's restoration in this message. Hopefully this will be an encouragement to anyone who has failed the Lord at any given time. Haven't we all been guilty of that at some point? Thankfully, failure for the true believer is never final!
