Redemption

Pastor Scott Rodgers · Nov 27, 2018

Every human being fails, but failure does not define who we are. Drawing from Peter's experience of walking on water and later denying Jesus, Pastor Scott Rogers argues that failure is an event to learn from, never an identity to carry. Because God redeemed Peter's most devastating failure by using him to birth the New Testament church, we can trust that He is equally eager to redeem our failures — freeing us to move forward without regret and to step out in bold, risk-taking faith.

Drawing from the book of Ecclesiastes and the story of Ruth, this sermon argues that the deep human longing for 'more' can only be satisfied when we stop making life about ourselves and instead seek God's kingdom first. Solomon's hard-won conclusion — fear God and obey His commands — is illustrated through Ruth and Boaz, who both chose paths that looked like less but yielded far more than they could have imagined. True joy, meaning, and significance come not from accumulating more for ourselves, but from living in right relationship with God and in sacrificial love for others.
