I Know Him as My Second Chance

Have you ever felt like you've failed too badly to be used by God again? In this powerful and hope-filled sermon, guest speaker Pastor David Schnitter dives into the story of Simon Peter—once called to be the "rock" of the early church, but later crushed by his denial of Jesus.

Through relatable stories, biblical insight, and a fresh look at John 21, Pastor David reminds us that failure is not the end. Just like Peter, we can experience God's mercy, a second chance, and a restored calling.

🟡 Key Points Covered:

1. We overestimate our strength – pride often comes before a fall.
2. We overvalue others’ approval – fear of people can create distance from Jesus.
3. How to respond to failure:
    • Grieve it honestly
    • Lean on a trusted community
    • Run back to Jesus – the source of mercy and new beginnings.

Whether you're "back in the boat" like Peter or feel stuck on the sidelines of life, this message is a reminder:
God’s grace is greater than your failure. It’s time to lace up your boots and get back in the game.
