Christian Mission

Pastor Bill Bush · Nov 25, 2024

Using Peter's denial and restoration as a lens, the sermon argues that failure in the Christian life need not be final. Unlike Judas, who rejected Jesus entirely, Peter always believed — he simply fell out of fear. The path forward requires three movements: honestly acknowledging our sin, genuinely accepting God's restoring love, and actively stepping back into the mission Jesus has called every believer to. Repentance, rightly understood, is not merely stopping the wrong direction but turning and going the right way — feeding the sheep, making disciples, and living fully on purpose with God.
