[00:00:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Champions Know How To Fail by Dr. Michael Youssef
[00:00:14] [SPEAKER_01]: It is infinite love. God watches as we stumble along the path of life, opening his arms wide again and again to us.
[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_01]: However, many believers are stranded along life's narrow road because they do not know how to recover from failure.
[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Falling into sin and disobedience leads to dangerous territory, yet God wants us to know he is the great Redeemer. He can transform our most dismal failures into victories.
[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Sin has dangerous consequences. However, when we do stumble, we must remember that the shame we feel is miniscule in comparison to the love God has for us.
[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Our guilt should drive us to the cross where we're reminded of God's amazing plan of redemption.
[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Real Champions Know How To Get Back Up and Keep Going because they draw on God's grace.
[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It isn't weakness to know your need for God's love, forgiveness and mercy. Everyone will be challenged in their faith.
[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_01]: The strong are those who run to God and take refuge in Him as Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12-10,
[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_01]: When I am weak, then I am strong.
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Looking at our failures as being unforgivable is an injustice to the life and death of Jesus Christ.
[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Once we have asked God to forgive us, we must view each failure as the teachable moment a time we gain God's wisdom and understanding.
[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_01]: When we humble ourselves before Him, we must remember that God can take the weakest moments of our lives and turn them into stepping stones on the path to spiritual transformation.
[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And as we approach our Heavenly Father with open ears to hear His direction for our lives,
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_01]: We must remember that He can carry us from the darkest valleys to the mountain top.
[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's pray together.
[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Lord help us to learn from our mistakes.
[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Changes as we submit our lives to you.
[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: We pray this in the name of Jesus.
[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know where to turn in brokenness?
[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Have you exchanged self-reliance for absolute trust in the living God?
[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: In a heart for God, lessons from the life of David.
