From the Pulpit...

The world will throw at us some things to trip us up. It will keep coming, as Peter experienced three times. With God’s strength, we can endure. But when failure comes— for which of us does not fail?—we can be assured God will be gracious to us like He was toward Peter. I am saying these things so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one who paid for all our sins (1 John 2:1-2).
