GREATEST COMEBACKS, Part 9, Peter: Coming Back From Failure
From Series: "GREATEST COMEBACKS"
We all love a good comeback story, a turn-around, a fresh start. The good news is God is in the business of giving fresh starts. In our lives we will face overwhelming opponents like insecurity, suffering, bitterness, failure, temptation, loss, hopelessness, discontent, etc. This is a series of hope and help as we face the overwhelming opponents in our life. Let’s rediscover that our God is the God of comebacks.
